    theres no reason to put froch in HoF, not on normal terms.

    If you were the sort of person that likes to put a fighter in HoF for simple adjectives 'they are dominant, too skilled' or other subjective stuff then yes, but in any terms that make sense, Froch does not get HoF until he does something hallworthy.

        I am surprised you cant do it yourself. No problem however.

        which kind do you want me to name?

        Top achieving ones - Ali, Louis, Holmes, Marciano, Lewis, not in any order. It would be really odd for anyone to ask why.

          Out of interest, how does a fighter do "something hallworthy?" Has the IBHOF given a clear definition?

            Wladimir has a great record compared to today's fighters which normally end their career with not that much fights (compared to yesteryear boxers).

            Wladimir's record is 63 fights with 60 wins & 51 wins by KO which is impressive, also note that both the bros never ducked no one.

            Vitali's record is also impressive only two defeats that only came because of injuries during fights and not because he was outboxed or knocked out.

            Both have great power, but unfortunately boring styles that suited them really well and dominated the whole HW division.

              how does one have such a boring style and yet get a really high KO %?

                Prime Lewis destroys both.

                  holyfield earned his spot because he fought everone much. greater comp than the klits put together.

                  tyson destroyed everyone he fought until douglas. We all know he wasnt the same after he lost cus.
                  Other than a scared Spinks the opponents Tyson beat were actually no better than the Klit brothers opponents. The only reason many don't notice it is because of the way Tyson knocked them out.

                    Because they jab the hell out of guys for a few rounds, then drop the big right and its lights out...

                    They arent going after guys like tyson did,,, they use the floyd approach and then land a huge shot and its done

                      Then looking at his cruiseweight career (although admittedly I don't follow that division that much, he did some things only few, if any, did before him). He was a HW champion too...
                      I just don't know. I still think he could end up in HOF, but as for now I might agree with you that he didn't do enough... maybe cruiseweight HOF...

                      I also don't understand why is he so popular in UK. At one time he was more popular than Froch is now.
                      Absolutely not.

                      His CW career is greatly exaggerated and his HW career, well, that's a joke.
