    Golovkin was a shoe in, the other two don't deserve the honor of being there. I would have prefered if someone like Pongsaklek Wonjongkam or Dariusz Michalczewski got the nod. Heck, if they were gonna select someone from the British Isles, why not Steve Collins, he beat Benn and Eubank.

    Benn went to the US & knocked out Barkley & DeWitt.. he came back to England & did the same to McClellan & Nardiello.. his rivalry with Eubank is the stuff of Legend .. the Malinga fights are quality too.. Benn is as deserving as anyone.

    Tarver? So they really do let in pretty much anyone who wins a few title fights.
    But eh, its the hall of fame, so I guess its alright.

    :lol: And its crazy that people are still talking about Golovkin´s potential ring return, meanwhile he has quietly slipped into the HOF.

    I understand Tarver making it after he beat the legendary Danny Green as we all know once you beat a legend you become a legend @WhataRock

    Double legend status after beating the man who beat the man after already beating the man.

    Tarver also beat Danny Santiago who was a big name in the states.

    Steve Collins beat Benn twice - and Eubank twice.

    He should have been chosen over Benn - if he was British or American instead of Irish, he surely would have.

    I would even argue that Benn is the most deserving of those 3. Dark Destroyer was fun!

    Made up that Benn is going in. He was my favourite fighter growing up.

    His son is still a twat, though.
