    I suspect, a few years down the road Lomachecko ends up in the hall as well. There is already a legendary status assigned to him (which I don't understand) and a decade down the road the legend will likely grow, as they all seem to do, and he'll get voted in.

    But I suspect he doesn't get in his first year eligible.

    Has Usyk earn it yet? When it comes to the current game I am a very casual fan. I only know of Usyk for his two AJ fights. One was a great brawl, the other almost a snooze fest. Unless something bigger happens with him he probably gets in the hall, but like Loma, not his first year eligible.

    Unlike Loma, with Usyk there is a good chance something very exciting might be coming soon.

    IMHO
    - - Usyk near the end of his career as is Loma.

    Usyk with the better heavy record than Vander, Olympic gold and 26-0, 16 KO + umpteen titles as a pro vs LH Olympic Bronze 26-10-2, 15 KO wif umpteen title fights lost.

    Better scalp wif prime record setting AJ

      Boxing as pubic entertainment- It's all a popularity contest on some lever. I read your point however. If you could remove 5 enshrinees and replace them, so that the hall netter reflected authenticity, what five go??

        Canelo, Usyk, Crawford, Lomachenko, GGG, Fury, and Rigo will be HOF'ers. Does that make them ATGs too? It's all subjective.

          I only know about 30/40 that are in it.If it was a hall of greatness I'd imagine you could drastically whittle it down ,but the term is subjective anyway, I'm rather miserly with the word great myself .

                I think Spence and Crawford are likely going to be talked as ATGs in the future. So will Canelo. Usyk probably will. I think Inoue could cement an ATG status if he challenges and beats the current top dogs from super flyweight (Chocolatito, Estrada, Ioka and maybe Rungvisai). Estrada and Gonzalez themselves will probably still be highly regarded by boxing fans in the future.
                Either Loma, Tank or Haney have best chance at ATG status out of all the lightweights if they all fight each other at the most crucial times; even though Tank and Loma aren’t actually champs at the moment, I still felt like I should bring them up. Stevenson also has a chance if he moves up to LW while these guys are still around.

                    Canelo --> Only high tier ATG
                    Chocolatito --> ATG
                    Donaire --> ATG
                    Usyk --> ATG
                    Inoue --> Future ATG
                    Fury --> Probably ATG

                    6 fighters ain't bad.

                      Apparently you expect Crawford to finally fight someone.
