    I look at it this way, I can fight guys who are like 0-13 and look like Roy Jones in his prime, if I go 40-0 with 40 knockouts am I a ATG? No.

    It all depends who you beat, when you beat them, and how you beat them. It's all resume for me.

            Just personal opinion, plus the fact that alot of his fights he fought with like 2 weeks and even days notice sure that leads to losses and can also be considered obvious terrible decisions but the fact that he would, is what makes him great in my eyes, of course augustus can't compare to other actual greats, but he's just a personal pick

                    Who you beat. When and how you beat them. Where they were ranked when they were beaten.

                    Longevity.

                    And pretty much what you achieve.

                    Is how I measure greatness.

                    However, you don't need all of them to be great.
