    I'm using the names on Dan Rafael's ballot and listing 9 well-known names with an "other" option.

    That reaches the 10 choice limit here.

    You may vote for as many fighters as you like.

    michaelweski was a good fighter, but sadly followed the german path of 'no return'

    He was unified champ at 175 until the organizations stripped him for no good reason.

    Dariusz won titles in two divisions. He had a longer, better WBO run than Hamed, who lost when he stepped up to face a top opponent in Barrera. Dariusz won when he fought a top opponent in HOFer Virgil Hill.

    a lot of fighters win titles but never fight the best in their division...
    unfortunately, its become a staple diet in Germany and DM's reputation outside of Europe remains non-existant - and that's exactly why he never fought the best fighter in his division

    Abraham (even though he deserves props for taking part in the super 6), sturm, ottke, Sylvester....this is a german tradition

    get rich but don't chase the top dogs

    Calzaghe and ODLH for sure should be dead certs, Trinidad would be number 3 for me and deserves to be HOF, Hamed no

    Yes.

    I can't imagine anybody not voting for Joe and Oscar, despite their respective struggles with cocaine since retiring.

    Surprising to me that Trinidad has so many votes...flat-footed, one-dimensional plodder that got thoroughly outclassed when stepping up to the elites and whose power suddenly vanished after Nazeem Richardson pointed out how Papa Trinidad was wrapping his hands.

    Anyway, Oscar is the sure bet.:thumbsup

    Oscar, Joe and Hamed.

    Can't really sign off on cheato with a clear conscious. If not for the handwrap incident he would get my vote.
