          Tito Trinidad- Pretty self explanatory

          RJJ- Skill/ reflex

          Manny P.- Speed combinations and always game for war.

          Gatti/Ward- For a warriors instinct.

          Cotto- For fighting anyone they put in front of him and meaning it.

          DLH- For his musical career

          Floyd- For what "could have been" if he had the heart to fight the best at their best when the "best" was besting each other while Floyd opted for vacation.

          JMM- Counter punching ability/skill.

          Mosley- Body punching, speed, and never taking a backward step.

          Paul Williams- His volume punching ability without never seeming to be out of breath, and of course heart.

          Eric Morales/Barrera- Both fighters upholding the tradition to what Mexican boxing is all about.

          Naz- His awkward punching power and his in ring/out of ring antics.

          Tyson- For breathing life in a heavyweight division after the Ali era and doing so brutally.

          Holyfield/Bowe- Two fighters that were like trains ready to collide.

          Lennox Lewis- For his undisputed reign in the post Tyson era.

          David Tua- For having a left hook that would move a semi.



          And that's it for now...

            while he never managed to become a big star, he performed at the elite level well into his 40s

            There will be myth and legend about him in the future

              maybe both??... it's really not about the accomplishments cause by now boxing fans know how tainted titles and boxing accolades are in this era. so i believe which ever boxer has the most enjoyable fights to "RE-watch" will be more talked about.

                  i think in 50 years the klitschkos will be remembered most for being brothers. i think that their brotherhood will outweigh even the weakness of the division. that's what they'll be remembered for

                  two brothers dominated the division for almost a decade. that's pretty damn remarkable. pretty damn cool, too.



                  any ATG level fighter is going to be talked about in 50 years by the right people
                  trinidad
                  hopkins
                  jones
                  mayweather
                  pacquiao
                  morales
                  barerra
                  marquez
                  holyfield
                  lewis
                  toney


                  all ATG
