      God bless Johnny, who I had the pleasure to chat with 12 years ago at my local supermarket. That said..he's not close to being an ATG.

          I loved watching Tapia fight.

          Very exciting fighter, but the term ATG has been thrown around a little too loosely these days.

          Hall of Famer for sure though.

              If it was up to BoxingScene, the ATG list would have about 300 fighters on it.

              Let's try to develop some exclusivity guys.

                  I'd say he'd have to belong to that throng of fighters just outside the ATG list. Upper-tier HOF, in other words.

                    Joe Calzaghe never lost. He's nowhere near an ATG.
