    Who is the worst boxer that you consider an all-time great?

    Burner's De La Hoya thread kind of prompted this question. A lot of people made the remark that Oscar is a clearcut hall of famer, but didn't do quite enough to be considered an all-time great, and I'm just interested to see where exactly that line between Hall of Famer and all-time great lies.

      Are you joking? Maricano was a true ATG.

        Rocky Marciano sounds about right for the cut-off.

          You reckon? He's a bit overrated by boxing fans of a certain age but I think his record is still pretty damn impressive.
