damn if we accept everyone's opinion on this thread then there's almost no one left on the ATG list.
the funny thing is no one even mentioned if it's top10, 50 or 100 ATG yet most are bitching about fighters they hate lol.
Yea ok man, people claim Hopkins is top 20 and Floyd is like top ten for doing what exactly??? I didn't know taking little risks made you a higher ATG.
there can be an argument made for hopkins being top 20
and find me the post where someone said mayweather is top 10. I have yet to see that.
I don't think Pryor was overated. He just couldn't get the fights he really wanted. Something that hurt him was when Bramble beat Mancini. If he could have got Mancini that would have been a great win for him. Fighters like Camacho, Hugan, and Ramiraz didn't want none.
I will never say SRL ducked him. But that would had been a great fight.
I do think Marciano was overated a bit. But he was in a bad era, which isn't his fault. But I wish a fight with Sonny Liston or Floyd Patterson would have happened. They may have been way younger, but I'm not sure.
Liston would have KILLED Marciano.

i think yours is worse bro, but ill admitt it doesnt mean anything. this is the ****ing internet, ppl type fast. spelling doesnt matter as long as the point gets across. i know how to spell, just like i know u start a senetcne with capital letters, dont give f.uck.
as for the boxing.. i know lots of ppl say he did, but i dont think floyd cherry picked his oponents. acctually i know he didnt. he fought the fights ppl demanded at the time the fights happened. only thing u can make a case for is fighting hatton over cotto, but cotto was quiet meanwhile hatton ran his mouth. that made the diffrence.
wait, i just read best ever. nobody thinks that except his most retarded fans, i dont even think he thinks hes the best ever himself. when we are talking overrated we are talking general opinion. all fighters are overrated by their own fans. or all fighters have their share of retarded fans i should say.
The question was....What ATG Fighters do you feel get Overrated. I simply gave my opinion on it.
Ok maybe I sounded like I judged Floyd's whole career, but I still think anything outside of 135 apart from Oscar was ok. If he would of had an ATG type of resume, I guarantee you he would of lost by now.
You're telling me an idiot but yet you can't even spell "you're". Ok dude :rofl:.
I think Floyd and Hopkins are ATG, but some of the shit they have done is very overrated. Floyd's greatness is very overrated. You can't be the best ever by cherry picking.

Aaron Pryor, Marciano and SRL.
cmon the first two I can see but even though sugar ray was an ass he was one damn skilled fighter. he went to battle with duran hagler and hearns and came out victorious
Felix Trinidad, first off.
Yes, he was a wrecking ball puncher who was exciting to watch and a multiple weight titleholder.
Therefore he deserves his spot as an ATG.
But as far as skill goes ; boy always got his brakes beaten off by better boxers. (Oscar, Hopkins, Tito, Roy....)
Pacquiao, obviously.
Floyd, obviously.
Pryor gets too much hype thanks to that episode of "Legendary Nights", now that every 15 year old fanboy has seen it and believe the accusations that Ray "ducked" him. (He actually didn't, he just lowballed him.)
Mikkel Kessler. Though thankfull that's died down a bit since Mikkel seems to be spending more time in Court these days than the boxing ring.
The Edwin Valero hype was crazy a while back, people picking him to beat JMM and shit already.
Gamboa and that other Cuban kid.
A bunch more.
Those guys aren't ATGs bro.

you're a moron. those guys are rated exactly the way they are suppose to be.
Yea ok man, people claim Hopkins is top 20 and Floyd is like top ten for doing what exactly??? I didn't know taking little risks made you a higher ATG.
Just fighters that never had any footage. The ones that we only read in books or only know on boxrec. It's like a myth to me.
Who knows they might have been ATG's, but its hard to say with the lack of footage.
Oh yeah, Jack Dempsey
