    You know Chris Byrd, whom Povetkin beat, is in the HOF right?

    Shaun George also beat Chris Byrd at the end of his career. Should he also be inducted?

    That's not much of an argument, considering Chris Byrd was old and past it.

    Maybe, but he wasn't a walking skeleton. Still have no idea why Byrd did that to himself.

    What Hall of Fame would that be? (LOL)

    Because he isn't in the International Boxing Hall of Fame.

    Not many, because many paper champions (like Wilder was) are afraid to leave their home country.

    If another country could afford to put on shows like the U.S. and the U.K, American fighters would go where the money is just like Povetkin is doing. No one is afraid. That's just silly.

    Russia actually HAS put on big shows. It's silly to assume only the US and UK can afford to put on big boxing events.

    Er, Klitschko vs Povetkin? Usyk vs Gassiev?

    Do some research. It's really not hard.

    I was just checking the IBHOF website. Since Chris Byrd, Jerry Quarry, David Tua aren't in, I don't think Sasha will get in either, without having ever held a legitimate title.
