Today's active* fighters - IBHOF Bound? Or NOT?

The names that jump out as more likely from your list, in the order you presented are:

Nonito Donaire (very likely IMO)
Wiksasil Wangek/ Srisaket Sor Rungvisai
Spence because the welterweight division gets extra points from the Western voters
Bam Rodriguez (might get in just on the strength of his current resume, but he's very early in his career).
Juan Francisco Estrada (very likely IMO)
Jermell and Haney maybe.
Kovalev and Teraji maybe.

I didn't see four division champ Kosei Tanaka on your list either. And weird that you have Chocolatito higher on your list than the two guys who beat him.

Loma and Chocolatito are guaranteed, Wilder is not.

Donaire and Estrada have a good chance I'd say.

If I was on the committee and had to pick from this list, my three picks for first ballot would be Canelo, Donaire, Usyk

Moral lesson of the story is you can be inducted by just fighting once a year.

teraji has 7 top 5 wins including the #1 guy and wilder has 2 and no one near the top yet wilder is guaranteed? please make it make sense. wilder must be getting that american media spotlight bump because as a fighter he is not close at all.

shakur is not close at all. tank is not close at all. they are just popular fighters in the spotlight. that doesnt mean they have accomplished much because they have not. nakatani not close at all. these guys are division hopping but they dont have the quality wins to come close yet. compare tank and his 1 top 5 win over the #5 guy to teraji and his 7 top 5 wins including over the #1 guy. not really a comparison is it?

guys that should be in are: donaire, estrada, kovalev, teraji, roman, lomachenko and a bunch of other guys are close like spence, bivol, rungvisai, beterbiev, jesse rodriguez

roman had a much better career than both guys and roman did beat estrada, once officially and got robbed in one of the others, even the first rungvisai fight could have gone either way. people seem to forget romans earlier career where he was beating lots of top guys like: niida, takayama, yaegashi, sosa, viloria. jeff horn beat pacquiao but hes not getting in. estrada should get in for sure but he still doesnt match romans accompishments and in reality hes only 1-2 against roman. rungvisai probably wont get in although he had a great 3 fight run, a run that is better than wilders entire career by far, but he just doesnt have the popularity. you can make an argument you should get in with 2 great wins since lots of guys dont even have 1

Teo has done nothing, even accounted for the Loma fight where Loma was more effective. Got a hometown decision. Teo loses against Catterall.

There is no world in which Chocolatito & Lomachenko are not 1st ballot HOFs.

I'd argue Beterbiev & Bivol as well.

What are YOUR thoughts on their chances???
