        In a word, Power. KO power, that is. That's what seperates the men (ATG's) from the boys (alsorans). There are - of course - exceptions to that rule: Willie Pep and Pernell Whitaker immediately come to mind.

          By that standard alone, Floyd immediately gets cut. And so does JMM. How many power punches did he throw tonight? Yet he still didnt knock down Juarez.

                  Why is no one on your list black? Paul Williams still has more to prove.

                    I'd say Juan Manuel Marquez and Joe Calzaghe.

                      Hopkins already is.

                      Calzaghe needs to win a major belt at another weight and maybe retire undefeated, which will make up for his lack of quality opposition earlier in his career.

                      Hatton maybe needs to show more at welterweight and fight some more quality opponents.
