Which current fighter has the best chance to become the greatest ever?

[bojangles1987]

OK

What if Wlad went through Wilder Fury and Joshua?
What is GGG unified middleweight then beat Ward and Kovalev?
What is Pac beats Floyd twice then beats Lara and Canelo?
What if Ward beat GGG and Kovalev?
What if Naoya Inoue went all the way to welterweight and unified all the divisions?

If these guys accomplished these feats along with the rest of their careers with this hypothetical murderers row.

Someone could become the GOAT if they did some crazy ****.

Wlad wouldn't come close for doing all that. He wouldn't even crack top 5 heavies ever unless those three went on to have great careers.

Golovkin wouldn't come close to that. That's enough to grant him HOF consideration, maybe ATG consideration if Ward and Kovalev rebound strong.

Pac would be top 15 or so, but not top 10. He'd come closest.

Ward is a surefire HOFer if he does that, and an arguable ATG.

Inoue would depend on who he beat along the way. He could end up like Pacquiao, somewhere in the top 30-40 if his opponents are good enough.

None of those guys would sniff "the greatest ever" consideration for those accomplishments, unless Inoue was beating multiple ATGs along the way and not picking up paper belts.

lomachenko

None.. but theoretically.

Gennady could fight and beat Floyd at 154, then go up to 168, fight and beat Ward and to wrap it up go to 175 and beat Kovalev.

Well that would be amazing, but the chance of that happening is 0.1%

U see what Floyd did.....going around calling himself TBE....gat people thinking they can just beat a couple of guys and become the best fighter of all time.....FCK outta here

Ok if Pacquiao after his career to this point and beating Floyd twice, Lara, Canelo then Golovkin at a 156 catch-weight for the undisputed MW championship?

Mayweather or Ward. The others would never under any circumstances be recognized as the best ever by mainstream boxing culture no matter what they did.

Get out of here with your fake victim complex.

Get out of here with your fake victim complex.

I live in the US, how would it be a victim complex? It's a factual observation.

These "ATG" ranks are completely subjective and you know as well as I do the odds of boxing historians sticking a shenkolevkinqiaolang at #1 above Robinson and Ali are lower than being killed by a unicorn.

I'm being hypothetical of course since currently none of them have worthy claims anyway.

[The Big Dunn]

no one or possibly Lomanchenko. He could conciveably beat a staggering array of top notch boxers that are in and around his weight. It is not likely he will fight all of them but with all the talent from 118-130 he could put together a tremendous resume.

Floyd-should he beat Manny, Cotto for MW title and then unify with GGG would merit top 5-10 consideration.

Manny -should he beat Floyd, GGG and then Canelo would merit top 5-10 consideration.

Yea Floyd also if he were to beat pacquaio twice, then golovkin twice
