Jeff Fenech's ATG status?

[Steak]

who cares if he had losses. his career was obviously over after the first or second Nelson fight, probably from lack of motivation at that point.(Ive read he stopped caring about boxing after being robbed in the first Nelson fight). after all, Fenech was a fighter that owes his success VERY largely to his ridiculous stamina and tenacity, if he stops training its obviously going to kill him. how the hell was he prime when he instantly looked like **** after a long successful career, and from that point on never did a single meaningful thing afterwards?

I dont give a damn if he was 'prime', even though thats a ridiculous statement, his accomplishments and long undefeated streak over 4 weight classes already speak for themselves. hes an ATG.

Well if you're going to discredit Nelson's his win over Fenech you should probably accept Nelson's excuse that he had "maleria" in the first fight with Fenech. And Nelson wasn't exactly in the prime of his career for either fight.

I didnt say I was going to discredit Nelson's win over Fenech, but Fenech was very obviously past it when he lost to Calvin Grove

Nelson absolutely executed him in the rematch, one of my favorite fights. Fenech's corner was ridiculously out of line after that one.

[Scott9945]

Grove had 18 KO's in 59 fights (49 wins)

The man was featherfisted.

You beat me to it. Grove couldn't punch worth spit.

What happened with Fenech's corner?

[IMDAZED]

Jeff Fenech would be considered a god today.

He was 'on the slide' a few years before then.

Yup, me too one of my favourites all-time.

Yes he would.

According to Crackirish losses don't count and everyone with a record better .500 is an ATG (cuz one fighter isn't really "better" than any other fighter don't you know, just some got more favorable "style matchups" than others) :bull****9:

yep, Ali's losses to Berbick and Spinks completely kill his legacy. Roy Jones isnt an ATG either, nope, he lost too often.

get outta here. Fenech beat a lot of quality fighters, and was undefeated over 4 weight classes. He was done with boxing after a year and 3 month layoff, any loss after the second Nelson fight is irrelevant.
