Lee Chong Wei ( 李宗伟 )

Hall of Fame deliberately has a wide and flexible range of acceptable criteria. Fame is not only winning OG or WC - that’s more accurately a Hall of Champions.

Across the world, both are famous.
 
if i were to choose th or lcw achievements, i'd go with lcw. that's personal opinion. i'd like to be remembered as the icon of longevity and consistency winning countless superseries and stay at top of the chain ranked 1 for absurd amount of time rather than one hit wonder (yes i know it's oly/wc)
 
Have to respect TH. He got knee issues. Hence he can't last. You shd try playing with knee injury. See how it goes. lol
We can't take his OG and WC away. He is the 1st to achieve both. Respect. ;)

part of being an all-time great athlete is staying healthy.

extreme longevity at the top outweighs two ultimate titles.

axelsen has two wc gold, one og gold, 22 ss\wt titles & 489-146 w-l record... and he is still active.

chen long had two wc gold, one og gold, 22 ss\wt titles & 446-115 w-l record.

taufik had one wc gold, one og gold, 18 gp\ss titles & 413-138 w-l record.

taufik is hof worthy but axelsen & chen long go into the hall before him.
