Can any active fighter end up being the GOAT?

[MikeyMike100]

Can any fighter in current boxing end up becoming the Greatest Of All Time?

If so who?

1) From your own perspective

2) From a public perception standpoint?


Who do you think has the best chance at doing that?

[Mike_b]

From what we've seen King Ryan is undefeated he is attached to everything good that he stands for he's training with canelo's trainer has a bond with Canelo is like a sponge and learning and also scored a one-punch knockout for the first time in his career with the liver shot to the kidney against that Campbell guy. I know it's a far stretch but you asked if there's anybody that could do it? Well starting off the resume has to look like Ryan's, everybody else does not have that aura of invincibility. Some have this some of that some say this some say that but who else are you going to throw into this hypothesis? Are you going to say tank Davis? Lomachenko? Teo? We can dissect their careers and Davis may fall short because of the win over a overage Gamboa and basically that's put him out of the sweepstakes. Now what about Loma? He already lost the to l Lopez, what about Lopez maybe there's room for greatness there I don't know yet but I would say Ryan's career is only about 20 to 25% started so if he pushes another 75% hard like he does getting off the canvas like he already did and keeps progressing as a human being I think he out of everybody has the biggest chance to be great. Who else are you going to say the Charlie Brothers? Demetrius boo boo Andretti? Canelo, he's already dwindled in rumors of clenbuterol. What about heavyweights who would be the greatest out of them? Fury, AJ, Frankie Sanchez it's all about hypotheses right now and I would say where they're at Ryan looks to be sitting in the most fruitful position just my opinion but he's got some large steps to fill in.

Canelo Alvarez has the chance 2 be an AtG and GOAT status if he runs the table. Fighting champions
BJS
Charlo
Andrade
Plant
Bena
Maybe Bivol
Spence
Berlanga
And maybe another 3 or 4 fights. Only losing possibly 1

[FinitoxDinamita]

Inoue and Roman Gonzalez

Ranking stuff like this is not my strength as a fan

but it would seem like Pacquiao has 2 P4P opponents who are in their prime right now who he could fight and take him to rare air. He probably could have fought both already if he was going to, so doesn't seem likely but I'm just mentioning him because there is a path to another level even for him

[shza]

Canelo has the best chance, but he'd have to have sustained championship runs fighting quality opposition at light-heavy and cruiser/heavy to put him the conversation with Robinson, Ali, or Leonard given how match-making works these days.

Inouye's off to a good start & he's only 27 so that's another possibility.

Ryan Garcia has no chance of becoming the best fighter of all time

Canelo has the Mayweather loss and 2 close GGG fights. He also failed a drug test which makes it almost impossible for him to be considered the best ever

You see Inoue possibly ending up as the best of all time? Especially from a public standpoint? Seems far fetched

[pasawayako]

pacquiao is now hailed as the GOAT of the 21st century.
