    You said that he can't be passed his prime because he was undefeated.

    Now you're saying an undefeated Golovkin was past his prime.

    Which one is it?

      This discussion, and many like it, have gone round and round without anyone establishing parameters; most importantly- WHERE IS THE DEMARCATION LINE FOR ATG?

      Some people can rank Canelo exactly the same, yet one has that ranking as being ATG while the other doesnt. They can bicker back and forth without realizing they are feeling the same way about a fighter.

      Does ATG have to fall within a certain number on your all time P4P list? Does it have to be within a certain rank within a weight class? Do you get it by being within a certain rank in a given era (which is odd because defining eras ends up being arbitrary ayhow)?

      Define ATG, and then the discussion moves a lot more smoothly.

        The thread starter genuinely couldn't define the word define.

                These true all time greats have one thing in common

                They beat the best guys at their best in their prime

                Canelo has holes

                  So anything Atlas says is the truth then.

                  Like Pacquaio ducking Floyd.

                  Thanks for admitting that.

                      No you said anyone who's undefeated is in their prime, not me. You said that.

                      Now you're flip flopping and saying Golovkin was passed his prime even though you said anyone who is undefeated is in their prime.
