I'm not saying pualie is a bum just to be an atg he should of beat him to be considered an atg

But its one fighter on a resume of many. We should also take into consideration Ayala was fighter of the year and Tapia didn't lose again till stepping well above his best weight and far past his best physically against Barrera. At 118 and particularly 115 he was a beast. Maybe Im giving him to much credit, but in my opinion the Ayala losses wouldn't be a huge factor in determining his greatness. Just my opinion 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.

300 is a bit deep. But if you can crack a list of 100 or so fighters than that is pretty exclusive. I can see the points being made though and am inclined to agree with what ROA said if we were going to get down to brass tacs.
