    IMO it will be long before we see an other ATG after Floyd,pac,klitchko and Hopkins retire

    Rigo is already an ATG in the making, same with Lomachenko. if Kovalev beats Bhop convincingly, and then finally gets Adonis in the ring, he will have a strong claim to become a HoF.

    Lomachenko?

    2-1

    Relevant fights:
    L SD Orlando Salido
    W UD Gary Russell Jr.

    Standards for All Time Greats sure have dropped considerably. You could go on a limb and say that your prediction is that he will become an ATG one day, but you can't say he's "an ATG in the making" and be taken seriously.

    We've had this discussion in the past. Even if you disregard my strongest condemnation of cheating that Salido had to resort to (weight, repeated low blows practically every round), the very fact that Lomachenko is a world champ after 3 fights, and is only willing to fight top opposition, adds huge amount of credibility to my claim. If he keeps winning, and he will, by the time he had 15 fights he will be a twice undisputed champ in 2 diff weight classes.

    By the way, I am still waiting for your response about my Mayweather's opposition post.

    I noticed those names on your list, which is much better than mine. Usyk looks good but he'll never be the man in his division. Beterbiev looks strong but not very slick. Murata looks great. I just edited my earlier post to include him. Lubin looks tall and thin for his division. He'll have to move up in weight when he ages and puts on muscle and we'll see then if he can give and take punches at middleweight. What I saw in the fight I watched didn't look special. It looked like he was just taking advantage of his height and reach. I like the way Quigley moves, but he doesn't look like he has great power. Khytrov, from watching the Chatman fight, it looks like he gets hit too much, even if he does have a lot of bang in his fists.
