    It's looking barren, to me, at the moment.

    Pacquiao, Roman G, Donaire at the top of the list, certainly. Canelo and Lomachenko seem to have a great chance. Joshua is a HW, no matter the garbage state of the division, he is a HW and should he have a long reign which his age implies he well could, he will likely apply.

    I agree with this small group of names, but would add Tyson Fury to the list if his come back becomes serious.

    Including Spence but not Joshua?

    Both 28, but Joshua's resume far outweighs Spence's.

    Lomachenko,
    Golovkin
    Tyson Fury if he gets into tip top shape and stays that way, but Lomachenko is hard to beat...............

    I personally dont think he will be able to do it, but, if Golovkin is able to beat BJS, Jacobs in a rematch, Canelo in a rematch, Charlo, and take care of SD, and retire undefeated, with Hopkins's defense record, I have little doubt that he will be regarded as a legend the more time passes after he retires.

    Thats probably an unrealistic scenario but hes the closest active and truly relevant fighter in the sport to becoming a 'legend', imo.

    I get you on Thurman.. You may be right.. But I will say he is a good fighter and has a lot of potential.. Looks like he got to comfortable and is a pu**y now.. Spence I like a lot. I think he will be a legend for sure. I was one of the few thinking brook was going to beat him easy... Has my respect 100 percent.

    if Nomas keps his current trrajectory, hes the outstanding candidate. Of course, he might just let himself go, many do who blaze early, but we'll see.

    Every legend at one time or another has had their ass handed to them
    by another fighter. Pac's legacy isn't diminished at all by the Floyd, Marquez
    or even Horn loss.

    Other than Pac, I don't see anyone shaping up to be future legends that are
    "currently" fighting. I see quite a few potential HOFers, but not legends............yet anyway
    Big difference between being a "HOFer" and a "Legend"

    Loma is far far far too good for that my mate. Lomachenko is very special fighter, just like you are a very special poster :D
