    Some of these guys are pretty old: Rigo and Gamboa (both in their 30s) I doubt they will have enough time to become ATGs. I'll say Sillakh, Donaire, Ward, Russel Jr, Adrien Broner, Khan.

    I see your point but Frazier only had 37 fights and he's arguably a top 10 heavyweight of all time. I'll agree rigo is a bit of a long shot but if gamboa's opposition continues to increase in quality from were he is at now in say 15 fights and say he loses once or twice I don't see why he still couldn't be a HOFer

    Pong's already a shoe in, top 10 atg Flyweight, I have him at 6, most title defenses in that weight class, and the fastest ko in a title fight in that weight class as well.
