    Most of his wins are by KO. Those boxers who weren't KOd suffered broken jaws (Urkal, Mas etc.) and other facial injuries...

    I agree.............if Kostya was mexican, his entry would be a no brainer. Great posts Boppa..........throw up the facts & people still can't accept them. Now thats a hater in my books. As a pure boxing fan I don't know what was not to like with Kostya's style in the ring. He always was in an exciting fight. Was the 1st man to unify the 140lb belts. But just keep on hating, it won't change a thing..........he's in the HOF where he belongs!

    He does deserve to get in, one of the top 15 lightwelters of all time, slightly overrated but who gives a ****.

    No way is McGirt a better than Kostya, Tzyzu accomplished more in his career

    if kostya was mexican he would've moved up to take the challenges.....

    and i dont get why people keep mentioning other boxers that were way before my time...i saw kostyas career which is why i'm making this thread here....there is many i'm sure that did less than him, but i'm speaking only on him since this is my generation and quite honestly, though a great fighter, he seems to lack a lot of things that my generations greats do.......that's all i'm saying


    and quit saying that 140 at that time was stacked, cause it really wasn't :lol::lol:




    p.s.
    i dont give two shits about aaron pryor, **** him.....

    Its not called the hall of greatness, maybe it should be and there should be stricter criteria for entry.

    of course that win counts. if he lost to chavez it would be regarded the same. they both agreed on the fight and Zoo won. hence its a win on his ledger.
