        It's just how you look at what an ATG is. To me an ATG is a guy that is in the top 50 or so, someone very special. All the guys you names were very good fighters but did they really transcend the sport? Probably not. I know a guy like for instance, Ketchel isn't known by all boxing fans but hes a rare exception to the rule. Most ATG's when you mention their name most people can say oh yeah I know him. It's splitting hairs so really it doesn't matter. Either way I gotta run, catch ya on the flip.

          I though New York with Sugar Ray Robinson, Benny Leonard, Floyd Patterson or California with their great latin fighters would contend for state honors.

            Will Andre Dirrell be the NEXT Great Fighter from Michigan??
            Gayweather is a great boxer? The last time I watch him, I consider him a boring fighter.
