FENECH'S In HALL OF FAME but Not BEST EVER AUSSIE
Originally posted by Steak View Posthow is he not an ATG on the word scale? He should have a win over Azumah Nelson, making him successful over 4 weight classes. and Azumah Nelson is an ATG fighter himself.
he also has wins over HOF Daniel Zaragoza, IBF champ Shingaki, Coffee, WBC champ Samart Payakaroon(Best in the division), future bantamweight champ Greg Richardson, HOF Carlos Zarate(old), Callejas, future WBC featherweight champ Marcos Villasana, and Mario Martinez.
he was an overwhelming force at his best.

Grove was A bigger man than JEFF

A.T.G. Status, what definition

As for the topic question, Jeff Fenech was as tough as nails, exciting fighter to watch and has several solid names on his resume, which have already been mentioned, but I don't recognise Fenech as an All-Time-Great. Fighters like Ali, Robinson, Greb, Louis, Langford etc, they are bonafide, true ATG's. Fenech is ostensibly a good fighter worthy of Hall of Fame status, nothing more, nothing less.
Definitely not an ATG.

Originally posted by McGoorty View PostRe- GROVE v FENECH, that fight took place at Lightweight if I remember, An Ex-Undefeated Bantam but washed up fighter loses by KO to natural Lightweight in Prime,.. wow who'd a thunk it. . And another thing, it's just disrespectfull to the memory of CALVIN GROVE to say that how could he beat Fenech, he did and it;s boxing history, is there anyone out there who says Calvin Grove was a B grade bum instead of a WORLD champion of class. Only a fighter has that right, and I think that Jeff Fenech held Calvin in very high esteem indeed I've heard him say so, Now Jeff's one who has Afore-mentioned right.
