    Tell me some fighters who aren't/weren't ATG as resume but have/had ATG boxing skills h2h.

    I think Gennady Golovkin and Vitali Klitschko.

    Tyson Fury. If he beats Wilder again, then beats Joshua and then beats Usyk.

    That would give him a resume of -

    Wlad - Dominated
    Wilder - Dominated
    Joshua
    Usyk

    Usyk cleaned up at cruiserweight if he can beat AJ again and if he can beat Fury and a couple more top heavies he has to be considered.

    Beterbiev. He just needs a push from his promoter or to be signed up by someone who cares.

    Usyk in the same position before the WBSS too but he made the world stand up and take notice. I believe Beterbiev needs to do the same and go and dominate Browne.

    Lomachenko too. It's not too late for him either.

    It's not a massively likely career path though.

    More likely would be Wilder, Whyte, Usyk... (that's assuming all 3 favourites win their upcoming fights).

    If Joshua loses to Usyk again I think there's a real possibility he will retire.

    Well, WBSS was usable tournament for avoided fighters and they had not bad purses and this trophy.

    : big benefit, imagine, maybe Usyk till today never had been Undisputed if there was not tournament format.
    Look at HW division and you will get what stuff here is during xx years: nothing better than in Klits era, even some cotenters were the same as in Klits era: the same Pulev and Povetkin from Klits era, gatekeepers too a lot of them the same guys: Chisora, Takam too is gatekeeper type.

    Loma I think had benefited from Bob: he very quickly get title fight. It is not comparable with Usyk.

    Chad Dawson. He was damn near perfect physically.

    Michael Nunn: See the above explanation.

    Inoue is well on his way to ATG status. I just wish he would fight more.

    AJ is an easier fight than Wlad and Wilder for Fury.

    The young niave AJ who'd come after you would have been fun for a few rounds before he tires...this current AJ just gets obliterated.

    Controversial but Fury is already an ATG
    He beat Wlad after like a 10 year unbeaten streak, the same Wlad that AJ went life and death with
    He is the Lineal Champ
    He has had ALL 4 belts
    He basically comes out of retirement and beats Wilder twice

    Fury hasn't done enough to be considered ATG sorry. None of his victories will really go down in history besides the Wlad domination, and he retired before the rematch took place. Which doesn't look good.

    Fury hasn't done enough to be considered ATG. I don't consider beating Wilder 3 times as triple the achievement. Wilder's quality is debatable.

    Of THIS era he IS the best. Along with all the his other achievements he's in the ATG conversation both H2H and resume
    I also forgot to mention he dominated Wlad in enemy territory same as Wilder x2
    He doesn't bask in England for his whole career like AJ did
