Personal Favorites That Might Not Be All-Time Greats

[NChristo]

"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.

• Eusebio Pedroza
• Ismael Laguna
• Hilario Zapata
• Oscar De La Hoya
• Aaron Pryor
• Monroe Brooks
• Pipino Cuevas
• Jose Napoles
• Arturo Gatti
• Mickey Hatton

You don't consider Jose Napoles an ATG ?, the **** is wrong with you.

I did not say I didn't. In my preface, I said I "might not" which is not a certainty. Upon making the list, I was cognisant that I might include a name that is considered an ATG by others.

These other guys I know are considered good in their era, but not sure if they're ranked that highly in terms of all-time, but I like them too anyway.

Marco Antonio Barrera
Sergio Martinez
Miguel Cotto
Floyd Mayweather
Manny Pacquiao
The Klitschkos
Andre Ward
Yuriorkis Gamboa

So who do you guys like that either aren't talked about much here or that might not be considered all-time greats or that might be considered good in their era but not all-time?

Barrera, Mayweather and Pacquiao are 100% ATGs and its not debatable.

Martinez is only another big win or 2 away.

Ward is on the trajectory and showing no signs that he's going
to stop.

Gamboa definitely has ATG talent its just a matter of getting the fights.

Martinez is not an ATG. Not even a top 20 middleweight.

Ward has the potential to become one but Gamboa doesn't IMO.

I don't think Ward will be an ATG, though, as he strikes me as the type of person that won't actively look for the next best fight and will probably retire early while he's still on top and his bearings are still intact. Seems like a smart guy out of the ring as well as inside it.

mustafa hamsho- a pure mauler type, came up short in 2 cracks at hagler but only because hagler used good movement. anyone who stood still or walk to hamsho was grappled and mauled into defeat. the normally untouchable wilfredo benitez was pinned to the ropes and thumped into a clear loss to hamsho on points. wore down tough contenders like curtis parker n wifredscypion to stay at the top of the 160 rankins. if u like blood, check his first fight with hagler, its on youtube

Martinez is only 1 or 2 big wins away. Thats not say he's a lock to get them but he's definitely not far away

Why doesn't Gamboa have ATG potential? He is the most talented fighter in the world its just a matter of getting fights.
