    I wouldnt personally, quality fighter but ultimately he doesnt have any great wins, has fell short in his biggest fights and has never won a world title.

    Very good resume but the HOF should be the absolute elite of boxing.

    Amateur achievements dont count against your pro career either.

    Shpuld the likes of Shaver and Lyle go in, id say hes about par with them.

    Yes, he's in as far as I'm concerned. Great resume both professionally and at the amateur level.

    Because if you put him in a ring with the hall of famers he gets taken apart, just not on there level mate.

    Movement
    Power
    Not rounded enough as a fighter
    Lacks the outside reach

    Mid close range and counter very slick at times but without a decent jab to sit back on. See him having major issues against the big boy's

    He would be a champion if he fought Wilder. Would have put that chinny bums lights out.

    And unlike Wilder, Povetkin was always wiling to fight outside his home country.

    We're not talking ATG. We're talking HOF. Quite a difference.
