    Guys in the Hall of Fame generally train way more then 4 world champions. Yes it is respectable that he's brought four fighters to world level from scratch but when was the last time a bigtime star went "I'm looking for something new and I think Brendan Ingle is the man to do it?????" Never heard of that happening. If you look at a guy like Uli Wagner in Germany you'll see that its not just American trainers that have the prestige.

    If he trained all those bigtime fighters, he probably should be in there.

    What are you going to do about it other than go "hurr...America bad...durr" on the internet?

    Big difference is no other trainer has trained 4 world champions from the ages of 8-10 to becoming world champions

    Pretty easy to coach world champions when too class amatuers turn up at your gym the whole time to be trained

    you do know that 'world champion' should mean champion of the world, don't you?
    using that term on fighters like johnny nelson (when it suits you) should make you re-think your use of the term

    I hate Johnny Belsen but there's no denying he was a world champion

    you mean there's no denying he held 'a belt'
    on no planet was the man ever a world champion
    how can you even suggest that with a straight face?

    How do you define a world champion?

    I define it as any guy who holds one of the four major belts, like everyone else does

    I don't like the number of belts but that's what we're stuck with

    that doesn't mean you have to empower the federations by building up mickey mouse belt holders like johnny nelson

    a 'world champion', like I said previously, means 'champion of the world' - at least it does in all sports except boxing
    EVERYBODY should be working to differentiate between the pretenders and legit champions in this sport, because it plays a big part that big fights we want to see aren't made

    When the dust settles he will be inducted, regardless of the result tonight. True boxing people know the impact he and his family have made in the game. He is a legend and his legacy still lives. Anyone who has written/watched boxing outside of America knows this.

    I don't keep up with it - and I never have
    it never tells the story of a fighter's accomplishments, or the baby**** politics behind why a fighter like cotto has the luxury to deny a guy like golovkin
    belts are water in boxing, and I don't know how anyone with enough boxing knowledge (that's directed at anyone on this forum, not aimed at you particularly), can call them anything but the source of all corruption in a very corrupt sport

    Only one out of huck,Hernandez,polish guy are world champions

    Only one out of kovalev,Adonis,Hopkins are world champions

    And despite being no Holyfield{who is?] an extremely good one. Only in my opinion probably just about scrapes into the top 10 best ever cruiser weights.
