    But Haye lost to Thompson, so Haye's just a hypejob.

      On top of that, Vitali can't become an ATG.

      Don't care who he fights, ain't nothing going to make him an ATG.

        What about Marciano's competition since many put him in the top 10 ATG HW list.

          Who will he need to fight to have a small chance to be remembered as an ATG? Besides Wladimir, that is?

          If you had to name THREE, who would they be?

          My would be Chambers, Povetkin, and the winner of Valuev/Haye.
          His brother is the only fighter that could make him GREAT, let alone ATG.

            He hasn't got the competition to make him an ATG. We don't know how he'd fare against great competition.

            He's only fought decent fighters, not many really good ones.
            well we do know he did well against Lewis for 4 rounds untill Lewis took over and smashed his face to bits. who knows he might have gone on to win that one if he didnt have so much damage, but the way it was going after 6 rounds I believe Lewis would have got the KO

              vitaly is gonna have to dominate for the next couple of years...

              vitaly is gonna have to break some records.

              there isn't any one specific fight he has to beat to become ATG.
