    Who of the current crop of fighters, are the classic forum stars of the future.

    Who will we extol the virtues of, to the younger fight fans, who didn't have the privilege of witnessing them?

    I don’t think Tank has reached close to his potential yet…Usyk for sure. That’s my guess for top two…Bivol could be remembered if he gets himself some decent fights. Maybe jumps to cruiser and makes some noise.

    Canelo, GGG, Donaire, Usuk and Inoue will rightfully (IMO) be talked about for a long time.

    Vasily Lomachenko
    GGG
    Terence Crawford
    Naoya Inoue
    Jesse Rodriguez
    Roman Gonzalez
    Shakur Stevenson (if he can get fights against Loma, Tank and Berichynk and possibly something like Teofimo, Haney at 140)

    I mean they'll be able to witness them or at least I hope youtube or some similar platform will be around in 40 years. I think the obvious answer is look who is already loved by the forum so people like Usyk, Estrada, Gonzalez, Inoue, Rungvisai, Kenshiro, Crawford, Bivol etc.

    Inoue, Usyk, Fury, Beterbiev, Bivol, Crawford, Lomachenko, Canelo. If I had to take a guess I'm sure I'm missing some.

    Usyk, Crawford and Inoue are the clear top 3 currently, imo.
