    Usyk turned pro at 26 after 356 bouts, not comparable. Even still, Chisora may well be Usyk's 4th best opponent beaten (below Briedis, Joshua x2).

    Fury's wins over Wlad and Wilder 2 are among the greatest ever at heavyweight. If he schools or stops Usyk that's another.

    But Wilder never made that splash. His only notable fights are the Fury trilogy. By that standard, Tommy Morrison would have gotten into the HOF.

    Arturo Gatti got in because he had 4 FOTY. And it could have easily been 5. He was beloved and popular. Wilder has been average at ticket sales, ratings and below average in PPV buys.
    If Wilder gets in, then so should Adrien Broner.

    How many potential HOF'ers could he (and should he) have faced?

    Chisora is below Gassiev, Huck, Hunter and Glowacki.

    Very dubious statement.

    Gassiev didn't win a round and some thought he lacked the will to go for it (though he's a very dangerous puncher, so there's an argument there), 199 lbs ring weight Hunter won fewer rounds than Chisora, was counted and would have been stopped in the 12th round anywhere else in the world (he'd performed ok at heavyweight prior to Forrest 2 but a draw against 2nd best opponent 40+ Povetkin doesn't inspire), Huck was coming off a schooling from Briedis, had been KO'd by Glowacki a couple of years prior and KO'd by Cunningham in Germany years before that, Glowacki also got shut out like Gassiev but had far less power.

    Chisora is right up there among Usyk's best wins, probably higher on Usyk's list than he is on Fury's.

    I'd say Wlad is an ATG but past his prime. Besides that no one really.

    I don't consider Wilder a HOF.
