    Lomachenko and crawford are the only active fighters that look like surefire future ATGs, both extremely impressive in different ways. Crawford style looks more condusive to a long career, loma will have difficulties when his legs, workrate and reflexes start to slow down but hes phenomenal right now.

    Thurman spence need to fight each other, both look really really good but not as good as loma and crawford respectively.

    Usyk needs to establish his dominance in the CW division first.

    Mikey garcia looks pretty good, he should fight crawford. Hasnt blown me away yet.

    Need to see more from Charlo

    Joshua needs to fight wilder and parker he looks good(big strong hard hitting with heart) but nowhere near great in terms of skills(although he has better fundamentals than wilder)

    fury seems to be done, even if he comes back i dont see him being the same fighter again. Could have been great.

    Rigo is too old and is about to lose to loma. Has great skills but not a great career, for whatever reason he didnt get the fights he needed. Still his skillset is undeniable.

    Kovalev had the potential and the skills but he seems to be mentally disintegrating after his loss.

    GGG was never as good as some people thought and suddenly stops looking like a wrecking ball as soon as he faces a live body. Heavy handed, tough and a good boxer but He is not relentless like chavez sr and not the puncher hes made out to be. Pretty good fighter. Nowhere near great
    He Hit both canelo and jacobs with HIS VERY BEST overhand right and canelo shook his head at him and jacobs after getting hit right on his vulnerable chin with it tripped but wasnt even hurt(as abel sanchez admitted)

    Canelo has been matched very well and is exciting but also overrated and very limited and not a KO puncher either

    Beterbiev is a freak no doubt but hes in his 30s and hasnt fought any really good guys yet.

    Rigo is an ATG. He's one of the most talented 118-122 pound fighters in history.

    Roman is also an ATG.

    Innoue can become one.

    He is an ATG in the same sense as Teófilo Stevenson, when judged as a Pro not really...Unless he upsets Loma

    Ducking fights vs Punchers (Naoya Inoue & Ali Raymi), just to get KTFO by a 81% KO ratio Sor Rungvisai, doesn't get you an ATG badge, more like HOF

    Possible, if he targets & beats every top boxer around his weight

    I said they look like future ATGs. Loma and crawford are the only ones that really really impress me right now. Just my opinion

    Maybe you didnt read the post. I said loma and crawford are the only ones to me that really look like theyre going to end up as ATG. I DID NOT say that they are already atg
