Your argument becomes, if a handful of undisputed Legends are ATGs, it dillutes it to put anyone else there
GGG’s longevity is nothing compared to Hopkins’.

But GGG will go down as a HOFer for sure. He will be a top 10 middleweight of all time possibly (depending how you judge it with old timers). It depends how you define ATG. I think he will be remembered on the level of someone like Cotto. Really good fighter and a for sure HOFer, but not that elite HOFer.
