    Which current fighter is going to be remembered as the greatest?

    Although its been a bad year for boxing in my opinion, theres many talented fighters still out there, but no huge superstar, despite what oscar de la hoya says.
    So much in the same way we associate different eras with different fighters, which names do you think people are going to look back on as ATG's, which fighters do you think will be remembered as the best of the bunch in a P4P sense and talked about the way we talk about past legends?
    Was going to do a poll but too many to list. So examples are errol spence, deontay wilder, tyson fury, vasyl lomachenko, andre ward, terence crawford, sergey kovalev, gennady golovkin, guillermo rigondeaux, canelo alvarez, anthony joshua, artur beterbiev. May be others who are more raw who you think have superstar potential.
    Might be an interesting thread to bump a few years down the line.
    Please discuss...

          Of the fighters 30&below I think Loma & Crawford both have a chance to be remembered as their generations greats and I think in time whoever is the last man standing between Spence/Thurman/Garcia & Fury/Wilder/Joshua also have a shot

            Need to chill out man, those were just examples, the first fighters i could think of in 30 seconds or so. Of course roman gonzalez could be up there although his weight class generally lacks recognition, even with his great CV now hes not really a fighter that is talked about much. A lot of people rate beterbiev on here.

              So when you thought of greatness Beterbiev popped in your mind? hes basically a poors man GGG - old Euro that has not won a single world title...and I will agree with you to a certain extent RG is not getting the respect he deserves but the informed fan of the sport knows what time it is with Chocolatito as it stance hes going down as an ATG ; no other fighter in you list ( except for Ward) comes close....and LOL @ Spence a contender being mentioned.

                Think youve seriously missed the point of this thread, of course im going to mention errol spence, hes definitely got star potential and think many on the forum would agree. Doesnt matter whether these guys have won world titles or not yet, im not discussing who is the most accomplished fighter currently.

                  So you ask the question : Which current fighter is going to be remembered -- but now you tell me it doesnt matter if they won a world title.....but it doesnt surprise me because thats how you think your expectations are based off fantasy, hypothetical no facts or sound reasoning....so Ok Im going to play along with you -- I say Spence hes going to KO every welterweight then move up to 160 brutally retire Golovkin then move up to 175 and kill old man Andre Ward in the ring...retires undefeated as the GOAT.

                    its a hypothetical question ffs, really dont understand how you are struggling to understand this so much. Just meant to be a bit of fun, hence why theres a whole section on this site for hypothetical match ups too.
