Will the Winner of the SMW tourney be an ATG or HOF?

Winnin that tourney alone don't guarantee ATG or HOF status. Obviously, it's a gr8 accolade and a step in the right direction tho.

No. They'd be a Top 10 P4Per. They'd get HOF status if they were to beat Bute, if he's still the IBF champ and undefeated, the WBO champ, and defend the lineal title a few times against the next wave of challengers at 168. Or, he could move up to 175 and run the show up there. Both of those scenarios work for me.

NOPE, the only top tier fighter in the thing is AA and he'll probably lose cuz he's a midget at Super Middle.

They'll make the HOF, ATG status not guaranteed. Most people here have no concept of what qualifies making the HOF. The resume required to do this alone is better than 2 or 3 handfuls of HOFers best wins.

ATG? No, not simply by winning the tournament.

HOF? Really depends on who it is and in what fashion they win it. If Kessler or Taylor wins it, then there is a good chance they would've done enough in their careers to get into the HOF. The other four guys would need a couple more big names on their resumes I think.

The only chance anyone in the tourney had at ATG status was a win over the awesome Gary Lockett but it's common knowledge arthur and Kessler refused to enter if HE was in the line up.

If It's Dirrell, Ward or Taylor Yes.

If it's Froch, Kesslet or Abraham no.
