    True, that´s why I´d pick others but that doesn´t mean he doesn´t deserve it.

    Dariusz Michalczewski deserves it, but he won't get in because he's from mainland Europe.

    Although boxers from the UK are sometimes admitted into the IBHOF, it's very rare for a boxer from mainland Europe to be voted in, regardless of what he accomplished.

    He won 2 WBO titles at LHW and CW. Had a very good record, albeit against not the highest competition. I would say he belongs in the HOF, but like his career it doesn't excite me at all.

    For me the win against Rocchigiani 1, is not the way a true HOF fighter chooses to win and keep his title. A Luis Santana, chooses to win and keep a title that way, not a HOF'er. But in the end he's voted over a career not 1 fight and for that he deserves in.

    hes a backdoor hall of famer along with calzaghe and otkke, without the benefit of a soft division/title they'd never have got in.
