    Highest ATG Ranking Achievable in Modern Boxing

    So how high is the sky with modern boxing. Top 20?

    simply put modern guys don’t have the schedule to beat up 6 elites every month

    black and white era fighters had this opportunity

    becoming top 10 seems out of reach for modern day.

    You read about the feats of top 10 guys. They’re mythical tales

    no modern guy is catching up with SRR Greb and Armstrong

    If Pac beats spence more will think he is goat than people think srr is.
    You don't compare fighters today like for like compared to back then. You look at the type of fighter Pac is now and you gauge what he'd be doing if he were born 60 years ago

            Everyone will call pac the GOAT when he beat spence but of course here in nsb some people would think that he isn't yet the GOAT.

                Boxers used to be HUNGRY back then. Losing/Being inactive meant a death sentence for a boxer who didn't give it his all.

                They had that Xtra gear. I mean just look at this last weekend? Charlo has the size, chin, and skill but he fights lazy...
