Name 6 fighters that are active today who could go down as all time greats and why

[therealpugilist]

Loma
One of the greatest ams with great resume for a guy with so few fights


Ward one of the only in history to win multiple titles @ 168,175 arguable deepest tool box, highest ring IQ since Hopkins and money era

Kovalev most dominant light heavy champ since Roy

Chocolatito 4 weight champ long undefeated streak, ran through 105-112 like no one in history

Bud Crawford 2 time lineal champ one of the most versatile in the game

Mikey Garcia consummate boxer puncher, good at everything, great at nothing with one punch power

All of them have have unified and/or moved up to win titles in more than one division

All have solid resumes

All have top notch skills

All are arguably top ten P4P

All are in or near their prime with years left in the game

[Poppo168]

Only one I can think off the top of my head is Amir Khan, the guy runs the game.

[g27region]

Ward and Gonzalez are hall of famers already.

Maybe Golovkin, but that's not 100%, it depends on his next career moves

Kovalev....don't think so. He has to beat Ward and move up to Cruiserweight division

Sweet Tea Crawford and Lomachenko got the potential for that, that's why they're my favorite fighters right now. Lomachenko became best amateur ever at only 25. I'm interested in seeing how they develop their careers, they'll write the history in front of your eyes and I like fighters who's busy defensively and offensively

Rigondeaux could be hall of famer, but he's mismanaged and his career is going nowhere, same can be said about a lot of cubans

If you want 6 current names - Ward, Gonzalez, Lomachenko, Crawford, Canelo, Golovkin

[Grimgash]

Inoue has the potential to be an ATG if he can continue from where he's at. He's like a smaller loma, won titles early, and already being talked about (prior to Romans loss) to be the best possible opponent out there for Roman someone you mentioned as a possible ATG. I think Inoue will win that fight too and from there the sky is the limit.

Gimme 4 more prospects

[asgarth]

Broner - 4 division champ, baby.
Burns - 3 division champ, was about to become unified champ, but he still got time.

[GhostofDempsey]

Excluding Pacquiao who is already an ATG, the list goes like this:

Roman Gonzalez

Lomachenko if he continues his winning ways

Mikey Garcia if he continues his winning ways

Crawford is he moves up to 147 and defeats top tier opponents

Thurman if he can clean out the division

The media will say Ward, but I'm on the fence over him.

If you want 6 current names - Ward, Gonzalez, Lomachenko, Crawford, Canelo, Golovkin

Good list but Canelo has to step it up again. His last 2 fights and the upcoming one doesn't help him. If he continues that trend he will become a joke.

why? kinda curious why you're on the fence with ward and he has done alot more than say Thurman(dude has only beaten like 2 top ten ww's his entire career)

Ward has had one close fight in 31 fights, his entire career, is a 2 division champion and has a better resume than all the aforementioned fighters on your list

what do are somethings you think he can do to win you over besides beat Kov clearly in June

[j0zef]

Ward if he beats Kovalev and at least 3 more Top5 fighters at 175. Or if he pulls a RJJ and wins a CW/HW title in his late 30s. He has talked about wanting to be a HW champ one day.
Kovalev for the same reason. Dark horses are Beterbiev and Gvozdyk.

Lomachenko if he finishes his career at 140-WW and knocks off a few top dogs on the way there. Dark horse in the same category is my boy Oscar Valdez.

Mikey Or Crawford if they can move up to WW and clean that division up.

Golovkin if he can go through SMW and LHW without taking more than 2 losses.

Jermall Charlo and Errol Spence - they pass the eye test. If Spence can walk through WW and be successful at MW (<2 losses), he has a great shot at an ATG status. Same thing for Jermall Charlo - dude has impressed me greatly. He's also a big guy. If he packs on some muscle, he can be a great SMW and a good LHW.

Lastly, Canelo. He has all the skills in the world, but he's been wasting his career last few years. Or maybe he's honing them before taking on biggest challenges in late 20s?


IMO no currently active fighters should go down as an ATG (obv except for Pac and maybe Wlad). Many have the possibility though.
