    Vasyl Lomachenko - Yes. Why? Greatest amateur ever, multi-weight champion, P4P, all-round boxing genius.
    Oleksander Usyk - Maybe/No. Why? Outstanding amateur, unbeaten, undisputed at cruiser, Lineal/Ring, P4P... However
    Deontay Wilder - No
    Canelo Alvarez - 100%. Why? Boxing royalty, multi-weight champion, resume littered with past and future HOF-ers, P4P incumbent.
    Tyson Fury - No.
    Gennady Golovkin - Maybe/No. Why? Outstanding middleweight king, one of the greatest ever, however, was unfortunately "robbed" of his crowning moment.

    I would be happy to see Golovkin or Uysk swap places with anyone. And i'm certain Fury and Wilder will get in too being heavyweight "champs" who created a big rivalry.
    This is interesting , you say “no” to Fury, but don’t say why?
    I’m not having a pop here , I’m interested, because in all honesty, I nearly said no to Fury as well.
    But then I thought “am I being a bit harsh on him?”
    I convinced myself with the fact that he beat “The Man” and Infact had been the Man for a long time. Admittedly it was a shit fight.
    And then he fights another long standing champ (albeit relatively crap) in effect twice. Others have done far less.
    Don’t get me wrong, the rest of his career is pony, but is that enough?
    I guess I’m kinda wanting you to convince me that my original thinking was right and that he shouldn’t be in.
