    Changing one thing to make an ATG...

    Example:

    Junior Jones with a good chin could have been an ATG. Lots of power, great boxer, couldn't take a punch.

    Another example:

    Emanuel Augustus with dedication could have been something special.

    We know DaveBrown/2Tough's mom without AIDS and the ability to not be slutting herself out every second of the day could have been a decent woman and not a ****ing whore, but... what can you do?

    What else?

    Ike Quartey with more activity during his peak, and less whining about a loss.

      Though, Bazooka did get robbed a couple of times.

        Junior Jones had bad stamina as well.

        Donald Curry if he hadn't drained himself to make weight.

        Howard Davis Jr. if he had more dedication.

          I fully sympathized with him about the DLH and Forrest (especially) decisions, but... after hearing him ***** about the Vargas loss, I decided that I hated him, and if he isn't objective enough to realize he lost the Vargas fight, then I don't give a **** if he is robbed.

          Kind of like when N'dou whined about the first Malignaggi fight... he may have had a case in the second fight, but I was glad the decision went to Paulie, specifically because he did complain about the first fight.

            Completely understand. Like I said, I'd change his bitchy attitude and his inactivity.

              WTF!?!?!?!?!? LOL

              I'll say Harry Simon. If he didn't serve that prison sentence, he wouldn't have had to take a few years from boxing after winning the WBO title. He was one of the guys to beat Winky Wright in his early days.

              Also Ike Ibeabuchi. He was dealing with a lot of personal problems and ended up ruining his career.

                  Meldrick Taylor, had the ability to stick to a gameplan instead of brawling.

                    This may sound like a dumb pick, but Erik Morales. His best style was the style he used against Pacquiao in the first fight. Counter, and brawl to get out of the way or out of trouble. He'd of had an EVEN better legacy than he ALREADY does. Though, I'd still say he's an all time great. I'm just throwing that out there.
