    Klits and Adamek.

    Adamek has won 2 titles in 2 weight classes, if he wins a 3rd one hell have done enough in my book. Haye has the potential, if he pulls his finger out.

    He seemed to find ways to win even though not spectacular, he also always fought top comp and was willing to travel, He deserves his respect

    Lamon Brewster
    Nicolay Valuev
    John Ruiz- to other people in the thread yes Ruiz was an extremely skilled boxer who has won the WBA HW championship of the World numerous times.

    Sam Peters had HOF talent but blew it.

    Bollocks.

    Lamon Brewster might deserve a HOF spot, Sam Peter was never close to achieving it, nor did he have the mental fortitude/willpower to do so.

    I am not just saying Valuev and Ruiz just because Haye fought them. They just happend to be the best around when Haye fought them and thats why David picked them as opponents.

    Haye ( Pending )
    Byrd ( Possible )
    Both Klits ( Yes )
    Adamek ( Pending )

    Povetkin, Helenius, Fury, Arreola, Mitchell, Perez, ect. All have potential. They would be next generation though.

    Sure the K-Bros. I think the IBHOF should be less stingy about let people in
