Is Hector Cumacho ATG?

He could have been had he continued to fight the way he did before he fought Edwin Rosario. After he got tagged in the fifth round, he changed his style for the rest of his career and became way too safety conscious.

No Bloody way

By no means an ATG, however he's still a hall of famer...

No. He had ATG talent, but not an ATG career.

eh, its hard to say. He actually was probably one of the best ever at super featherweight...not in record, but in talent. I cant think of many that would have beaten him at that weight.

wins over Limon, Jose Luis ramirez, Rosario(controversial), Boza Edwards, Ed Davis Jr, Ray Mancini, Vinny Pazienza, Greg Haugen, Roberto Duran(old), and Leonard(old) is pretty damn impressive, even if he never lived up to his potential. especialyl when you consider he did this over about 5 weight classes, and was beating guys with impressive records along the way.

people only remember him for his running and him getting shut out by De La Hoya very late in his career, but honestly the guy was a quality fighter who even at his worst went the distance with 2 of the best Welterweights of the 90s, despite being past his best and at an unnatural weight class.

dont forget also that he is one of the fastest fighters that ever lived.

personally I would say 'Yes', but you can decide for yourself
