Fighters under 30 today, who can become am ATG?

Felix Verdejo

 

Rigo is not under 30

Already on the path to ATG Heaven
#1 Roman Gonzalez at 26, Dominant in 3 divisions...plans more
#2 Kazuto Ioka at 24, Dominant in 2 divisions...plans big
#3 Andre Ward at 29, Dominant at 168...Can become first Undisputed 168 Champ

Potential, but still have big challenges
#1 Deontay Wilder, if he becomes the first Undisputed Champion since Lewis
#2 Keith Thurman, if he dominates Welterweight and never moves up

 

Super Featherweight (10-0) fought and lost to Lomachenko in London 2012 being groomed as the one to take over from Miguel Cotto as the next Rican superstar. And of course already has a future big fight in the future with a certain stand out Olympian.

 

Vitali became undisputed champ then Wlad,

Maybe not ATG - but oscar valdez looks like he has a bright future

 

None of the Klitschkos were undisputed, they shared the belts. If Wlad wins the WBC he will become the first Undisputed Champion since Lennox Lewis

Undisputed Champions rare and far between, Vitali and Wlad co-existed on the top...opposing the core value of being Undisputed...that and the obvious absence of WBC+WBA+IBF formula + WBO since Hopkins made it a bit harder to be Undisputed...which is good, as Undisputed should be hard to achieve...very hard...:smoke

 

Great list . . . I would probably change the order up a bit. On the fence about Canelo but IF he beats AA easily and then beats Lara (which is a very tall order) I agree.

I agree about Broner, too many people wrote him off after his loss but the kid just jumped a weightclass and took on one of the hardest punchers p4p in the game. he needs time to get the strength of a WW.

I may not say that these guys will be ATG but I think they will be in consideration for P4P status and/or the top players in there divisions.

 

Vasyl Lomachenko has to be in with a shout

 

I don't know, man.

Some of the honorable mentions seem more probably than your 1-4, and some of them are such extreme long shots they shouldn't even bear mentioning.

Broner, Thurman, and Wilder - guys whose ceiling is "titlist" - really don't belong in the discussion with the likes of Rigondeaux and Garcia, IMO.

 

Puerto Rican lightweight, very talented, but some people are starting to get unrealistically and prematurely carried away with the hype for him and seem too quick to forgive some alarming flaws even before having stepped up in class.

 

4th loss if you count gift decisions and a loss that ruined him like Salido ruined Lopez.

People only thought Broner was good because that's what Golden Boy and TV networks told you to think. Their plan was 'find the biggest **** in boxing and we can market him as the next Mayweather'. Only problem was, he wasn't all that good.

If you think there is even a remote chance he can get into the top 50 all time great's I suggest you watch more boxing. It's highly unlikely he enters the top 50 current pound for pound fighters (and despite what some people may tell you, he's not currently and never has been, being his best win is over Tony freaking DeMarco).
