    All had fame, all were no worse, than the worse currently in the hall of fame, thus all qualify IMO.

    Let me add something also, Jermain Taylor, like Ottke, is prohibited from the HOF no matter what happens from here on out. If he ever gets put in, I'm going to flip out and send a bomb to the board of directors of the IBHOF.

    Michalsczewski is going to be elected in the Hall of Fame - as long as being televised on American TV is not required...
