    Danny Williams DESPITE beating Mike Tyson holds a special place with me ever since the night he got off the floor and fought on with a visibly dislocated shoulder to smash Mark Potter to defeat....

    Guys like Tony Galento and Ricardo Mayorga are always appreciated when the come along despite a lack of technical skill

    I felt like Ike Ibeabuchi would have gone on to be a bit special and certainly a champion but even at the little he did he has me in his fan base.

    Miguel Cotto is my THIRD favourite fighter
    Nigel Benn is another personal fav and top 10 guy
    A Few more, Arturo Gatti & Diego Corrales - is an explanation needed??? These guys personified the term WARRIOR!

    Ricky Hatton, more for the character he was and the great nights he provided me with as a drunken fan!

    Emanuel Augustus, dude knows how to entertain!

    Michael Katsidis always gave it his all and was a classy guy outside the ring, really liked him and wish him all the best in his forced retirement.

    Fernando Vargas in his younger days was one of my favourite guys around at the time, really liked him.

      Great thread!

      I likes...........

      Mayorga. when nhe first came up I thought he may be great, always loved his explosiveness, his punching and he is HILLARIOUS!

      Spadifora, great instincts and great technician

      John Tate always liked him started watching in the olympics when he fought. Just a guy who coulda shoulda woulda and is probably a champ in another timeline haha.

        I loved watching Jean Marc Mormeck's fights at cruiser. He always came out looking to do damage and almost always got damaged in the process, which lead to very entertaining fights.

        Baby Joe Mesi was the best of the local guys in recent history so I always have a soft spot for his fights. I talked with him a few times at the gym when I was younger and he was a very down to earth and friendly guy.

            I doubt Marcel Cerdan is considered an ATG by many, but he's one of my favourite fighters.

                "Might not" are the operative words in the thread title. While I might not consider them ATG's doesn't necessarily mean they're not.
