What Sure Fire Hall Of Fame Heavies Have the Klitschkos Officially Beat?

Dont like klit sisters but in there defense this era has not given many sure fire hw hofjust before there was lewis,tyson,evander but definitly a dry spell at hw for quite some time an no fault of theres

 

Who voted for three plus? Trolls or Klittards? Or is there even a difference in most cases?

 

Yeah except that Joe Louis beat a **** ton of HOF'ers and former champions; Schmeling, Walcott, Baer, Carnera, Braddock, Sharkey, Conn, Lewis, Bivins

And yes Larry Holmes is a good comparison, but his competition seems noticeably better, and very few claim he's a top 5 HW, soooooo...

I'll say that they've fought two in Lennox and Byrd (maybe). Which would make Vitali: 0-2 and Wladimir: 2-0.

edit: I voted for 1, Chris Byrd, to be generous...

 

klit sisters have been around awhile beat most put in front of them exception of the great ross purrity , an devestatily domainate corey sanders ,heavy punching chris byrd ,an of course right in middle of prime lennox lewis, look i know boxing an the sisters age they were to green to meet tyson ,evander ,lewis an any one of substance mercer,bowe,rudduck,morrison,alex stewert,bruno all were good at best not great but past it when klits were ready

 

Can't believe that 40 people so far won't acknowlsge Chris Byrd. The man has wins over Vitali, Tua and Holyfleld.

 

Wait who voted 3 plus ?!?! :huhatsch

 

If Baer, Carnera, Braddock and Sharkey are considered HOFers (dunno if they are), then by all means so should Byrd whos much better then all of them and has a better record.
Conn, Lewis, Bivins werent even ****ing Heavyweights.

 

If not counting natural Heavies, then Haye, Adamek and Mormeck could and normally should get inducted in the HOF based on their cruiserweight and LHW runs.

 

He lost 8 out of 9 rounds against Vitali and won by default. Holyfield was beyond past it and got beat by fat middleweight James Toney. Tua never even had a title in his prime. Byrd is a nobody at HW got got dropped twice by Golota who was so shot he couldn't throw power shots.

 

Joe Louis title fights:

Johnny Paychek (not ranked top 10)
Arturo Godoy
Al McCoy (3-3 in previous 6, not ranked top 10)
Red Burman (not ranked top 10)
Gus Dorazio (not ranked top 10)
Abe Simon (coming off loss to 15-11 Jim Thompson)
Tony Musto (was 2-4 in previous 6, not ranked top 10)

 

Initially i hesitated, but the more i think of it i come to the conclusion that when all things are said and done, the guys mentioned above have all the chances to get in the HOF; after all, lesser fighters have been inducted and even fictional movie characters.

If you dont like it, then you can go **** yourself:deal.

 

Juan Carlos Gomez could be a candidate too.

 

Byrd is better than Braddock, I'll give you that, but not the other guys you listed. At the time Wlad beat him first go around, Byrd is certainly a better win than Sharkey was at the very end of his career and perhaps a couple of the others as well.

Given the era, Louis' wins over those three LHW champions are comparable to some of the Klitschko bro's top wins.

That's why Haye and Adamek are among their best wins. Mormeck isn't quite the stature of Conn or Bivins, or Lewis.

All of the above guys I listed are officially in the WBHOF. Lou Nova is in as well.

398 listed members of the WBHOF. Louis has 11 wins against them. The Klitschko brothers combined might have two with Chris Byrd, Adamek will likely get in, and call me crazy, he might not because he won't fight enough but Haye has a chance. Juan Carlos Gomez. Povetkin if it happens has a shot. It'll eventually end up being something like 5 for the K bros, in my opinion.
