no way maxi even comes close to being a HOF'er. EOD.

agreed, same with Moore, Foster and Spinks case closed.

WBU is purely meaningless....Even Bowe was not recognized UNTIL he dominated his way from WBU to EVery title on earth and defended it enough to times to quiet down his detractors.

this was of course before many of you were born.

So what's the verdict?

Inconclusive.

I have chlamydia.

Buzz if you want to nominate Rosenbloom then do so in the HOF thread.

But by your logic, if Rosenbloom does deserve to get in then that also means Calzaghe does too, who went 2-1 over your man and dethroned Rosenbloom.

But to be honest, I don't think Joe belongs in the HOF. He was a tough fight for anyone and fought them all with some success but he was not part of the elite, just a good top 10 fighter . The point is if Rosenbloom and Calzaghe got in it would be lowering the bar but feel free to nominate whoever you want.

Looks like it is a yes vote for Michael Spinks.

Congratulations to Spinks and manager Kevo.

How many world title defences (not WBU) did Spinks make?

If I'm reading his history right, it looks like he was 3-3-1 in world title fights, with one defense.

Patchy like the majority of world champions. Just shows how great Tiger Jack Fox was.

Fox was 16-2-1 in world title fights

Calzaghe was 5-4-1

Rosenbloom was 3-5-4 in title fights

And Moore was 4-1
