Ward was fortunate he never had to fight Dirrell and quite honestly he could have made the move to 175 much sooner when it was a lot deeper with talent.

      All the answers you need will be in the resume thread I started...I don't have time to go back and forth with someone whose mind is made up

        if u say lomachenko (you're and idiot) kovalov........no. golovkin. hell no. thurman. **** no.


        canelo has the potential out of all 4 hands down.

        canelo has wins over cotto, lara (controversial but i thought he nicked the fight) trout.

        also b side wins in kirkland, cintron, angulo, mosley.


        he's moving to 160 and a wins up there against golivkin would be great or even jacobs. say what u want but he has great potential to be a ATG.

            Wherr are we talking in terms of ATG? Top 10? Top 100?

            Anyways Roman G. and Ward have the best chances right now.

            Golovkin, Canelo, and Lomachenko are my next picks in no certain order.

            I didn't add Crawford because I really don't know if he can beat guys like Spence, Brook, or Thurman, and that's what I think it takes.

            I think Lomachenko can clear out 130, move up to 135 and if he beats Mikey and Linares he'll be a contender for sure.

            These are the names with the best chances right now, in my opinion. There's a lot of other fighters with potential. For example:

            HW - whoever beats all the big names in HW undefeated will be an ATG. If AJ beats Wlad, Wilder, Fury (if he fights), Parker, you bet your sweet ass he becomes one.

            Cruiserweight - Usyk is very good, and he's lucky because right now the division looks strong. He cleans it up and he can become a nominee.

            LHW - I disagree. Kovalev has a lot of work to do. Beating Ward won't be anywhere near enough. He needs to clean up his division for starters. His best win is a 50 year old Hopkins. Hopkins is good, but doesn't compare to the new talent that has showed up recently. Pascal is not very good, either. Beterbiev is coming up, Stevenson is still around, etc. Lots of potential, here.


            It's a lot of what ifs at this point.

              if he loses to ward but still beats top guys he can still make the hall of fame...he was a very dominant champion and only lost to another dominant guy who hasn't lost since puberty began

              you're a knowledgable guy, you know what it means
              Well you could say he lost to the first real top fighter he faced(i thought he won)...i don't give him much credit for the hopkins win. He's close to being in the back half of his 30s and he still has a ways to go accomplishment-wise before I'd start throwing around atg. He needs to beat ward for starters. Atg is a good level above HOFer imo.

                    It sure is


                    If he beats ward wins a rubbermatch n picked up some top wins between 175-200 it'd possible.... May not be highly likely...never know

                      Knew your phony politeness couldn't last long. Nice debating with you.
