        Take Joe Louis. He made 25 (or about that) titledefenses; was HW champ for 11 years. But the problem here is that he never defeated an ATG. In fact he had ONE shot at an ATG (Marciano) and he blew it.

        Speaking of Marciano. Was he an ATG? If Louis wasn't an ATG then Marciano wasn't either since he didn't beat any other ATG's.

        With a definition like the one you just mentioned such cases could be made for several fighters normally considered ATG's.

        I guess then, that it comes down to having 'boxing ability beyond imaginable'. With that being the case, then I can very well see Joe Calzaghe fit that ability. Noone, and I mean noone, in history has a style and ability comparable to Joe Calzaghe. Hence Joe's an ATG.

            I just looked over there, to see if you're telling the truth - but there are no such links at that site! You're making that up. It's not a supremacist site, it explains on the first page that it was created to counter the belief that white people are athletically inferior. It's actually against racism.

                    Looks like all the Calzaghe butt hole suckers are using their secret accounts to even up the poll!
