    What currently active heavyweights have a good chance of making the IBHOF?

    Choose as many options as you like.

    Joshua and Fury will get in for certain. Wilder may not really deserve it because he avoided top opposition during his title reign, but since he's an American he will get in. Usyk has already accomplished enough to be voted in, so although the people who vote tend to be prejudiced against non-British Europeans, they will not be able to justify denying him entry.

    Parker still has a chance to do enough to get in, he's just 32 and has improved a lot working with Andy Lee during the past year. It will be interesting to see what he accomplishes in the next couple of years.

    Ruiz is too lazy, Zhang is too old, Anderson although perfectly promoted by Top Rank is not wise (already in trouble with the law), and Jalolov has the talent but will not be properly promoted. Torrez is very exciting to watch and will be popular but he's rather small for a modern-day heavyweight. Hrgovic had excellent potential several years ago, but he's been very poorly promoted and ruined by inactivity.

    If Wilder makes it then it is not worth a bucket of warm ****.
