    Wald and Vitali are the first brothers to hold all versions of the heavyweight championship at the same time. They are guaranteed a spot in HOF.

    Both Klitschko's, Holyfield.

    Adamek and Haye both get looked at for their Cruiserweight and Light Heavy(Adamek) work.

    outside of that, I don't see anyone just yet.

    The Brothers Klitcshko are hall of famers.

    Both will be HoF. I was hoping Haye/Povetkin/Solis would establish names for themselves, become great and then by beating them, Klitschkos would finally have their worthy opponents.

    Too bad all 3, the best heavies aside from K-bRos, turned out to be cowardly lazy ****s with no ambition.

    Tua won't get in. He wasn't even a world champion.

    Toney will probably get in, but as a middleweight.

    Guys Tua and SNV in the HOF. Come on you are not serious. The only guys that can make a case except the brothers are Haye and Adamek

    Wlad and Vitali.

    Adamek would be borderline if he retired today but I predict he gets some more good wins and gets in.

    Toney and Tarver and Holyfield if you want to count them. Mormeck may be a candidate for his accomplishments in lower weight classes.

    Valuev, Brewster, Byrd, Haye and Rahman are borderline. If guys like Bowe get in, then perhaps you can make a case or any of the previous 5.

    I wouldn't call an era with 2 hall of famers and P4P fighters on top holding all the belts "the weakest".

    Just shows how ignorant you are of boxing in general and heavyweight in particular.

    Tua in the weakest HW era? :patsch I guess you think Holyfield fought in a weak era too, considering he lost to Michael Moorer and Tua destroyed Moorer in 1 round.

    Both Klischko brothers are worthy
    Haye possibly also for what he has achieved at CW
    Valuev for an impressive winning run and being the biggest HW champ
    Ruiz as a 2 time HW champ and arguably Americas best HW of the decade

    Toney due to hype and lower weight accomplishments though his cheating should be considered
    Jones due to lower weight accomplishments though his cheating should be considered also
     
  15. I cant ****ing believe Ruiz holds wins over Holyfield, Rahman, Golota and Mccline.

    He had a mother****ing trilogy with Evander Holyfield.

    Im sorry, but was Johnny a good boxer back in the days? I totally missed this guy out.
