    Only reason he is not in the HOF is he didn't fight the American greats at that time. He needed to leave the UK. We would have loved the guy. Great, fan-friendly style.

    He was HOF material, just not a HOF resume.

    In fairness, Eubank never wanted the big fights. He admitted he didn't want Jones or Toney or the likes.

    He is a self confessed ducker.

    None of these guys are from what would be considered a third world country.

    Who did Haye duck?

    He won WBC WBA WBO Ring CW titles and WBA HW title in around 24 fights including a loss, often did that away. Put his HW title on the line against one of the most dominant HW champs of his era and chased the other champ. I cant see how a former CW who fought at HW W Klitschko and N Valuev could be seen ducking anyone and then dont forget his CW career on top

    Not necessarily. You have to stop this nationalistic BS thing HMB.
    What big fights does Ward have? In fact he has made a career fighting leftovers from a previous European champ, who didnt win tjose fights in America.
    The Klitschkos have done very well without the U.S.
    In fact where did S Cunningham go to enhance his career? HE may have been called USS but his career wasnt based there.

    HMB owned again :lol:
