    What current heavyweights have already done enough to get into the Hall of Fame?

    I'm including Fury in the poll because he's been showing signs that he'll fight again.

    I think Joshua and Wilder have not really beaten enough contenders to be HOF worthy, but both will probably get in. Joshua has had some bad losses (Ruiz and Dubois). Fury's wins over old Klitschko and Wilder are probably going to get him in, but I would not vote for him.

    I think there is only one who clearly deserves it, and that's Usyk, considering his achievements at both cruiserweight and heavyweight.

    It's actually pretty easy to get in. Probably Usyk, Fury, Joshua, Wilder (# of defenses only) with Parker and Dubois possible if they win another title.

    Now Fury is saying he wants to come back and face Usyk again.

    He hasn't had a good win in years.

    Fury should come back and fight Joshua, and then the winner might really deserve to go into the IBHOF.

    Deontay Wilder getting in would be a travesty.
    Trevor Berbick should get in before Wilder does.

    Usyk - first ballot straight in, no discussion needed obviously.
    Fury and Joshua - Yes but not might get in straight away. You'd expect they've done enough.
