    well at 11 to 1 the No's have it, lol

    If anything though this thread gave me more of a reason to change my stance. But I do stand by that any recognized champion has accomplished something way less than 1 percent of boxers who ever lace them up will do, regardless if we think of them as frauds or whatever else.

    Certainly there used to be an argument for this. But, now that there are so many titles, and so few instances of the best fighting the best, that I have to vote NO. Hasim Rahman, Ruslan Chagaev, Anthony Dirrell, Daniel Geale, etc. have all been champions recently. None are close to HOF worthy.
