    Really only Pacquaio has a chance because of the whole going from 108-154 and being the only man to win the 147 title 4 times thing going for him.

    Canelo has to many dubious "victories" & PED allegations to be a GOAT, but he is a hall of famer and can be an ATG

    Other than that, no, because fighters don't fight enough and don't fight hard enough great fighters in a career to be considered like Robinson, Ali, Pep, Armstrong, Greb, etc. . .

      Luis Ortiz is probably the only boxer in that category.

              I doubt it is possible for any boxer to become the GOAT because who is the GOAT is just opinion and not provable fact. Pro boxing with gloves has been going on for about 130 years and a hell of a lot of great fighters have come and gone and no man alive has seen all the great ones fight. Right now there is not agreement on just who is or was the GOAT. Some say SRR, some say Ali and many say some other fighter was the GOAT. So how good would a boxer have to be to make everyone agree he is the GOAT? No boxer has ever done that and I doubt any boxer ever will. I think we have some great fighters fighting right now but none near good enough to make everyone agree they are the GOAT. Mayweather and Fury both say they are the GOAT. Sorry boys but neither of you are even close to being the GOAT. Just saying you are the GOAT means nothing. ALL boxing fans and experts are the ones to decide who is the GOAT and they don't all agree and they never will.

                  Not fighting mandatories twice a year in a 17 weight class 6 belt era. Hell no. Not possible.
