      We're not talking about HWs here Jr since everyone knows they can't go up any more divisions.

      It sucks though that guys like Ottke and Calzaghe don't get hardly any credit whatsoever for their title defenses. It isn't like Hopkins faced a murder's row of people in his defenses besides blown up WWs.

        I spit my juice out with this, especially since Floyd Was on the list.. and I still don't consider Floyd active.

            I got to say, the whole logic of 'More Title defences automatically >>>> Less title defences' is painfully bad logic but 'Taking away the names' just takes the cake.

                These ATG lists make me lol, like anyone has actually watched at least a dozen fights involving hundreds of the best through boxing history and understands them in their context of time.

                Do you have any idea how long that would take and how unemployed one would have to be to have the time to do it?

                    It doesn't matter how many divisions you numskull it's about your resume and who you beat. Just like pac is an "8 division champ" but he didn't beat 8 of the best fighters, he's a four time lineal champ not 8. No one is going to give him tons of credit for beating david diaz & margarito.

                    It sucks though that guys like Ottke and Calzaghe don't get hardly any credit whatsoever for their title defenses. It isn't like Hopkins faced a murder's row of people in his defenses besides blown up WWs.
                    Hopkins actually fought and beat every single #1 & 2 ranked fighter in the division while he was there while Calzaghe & Ottke can't say the same, in fact these two "all time greats" had 21 title defense each at the same time in the same weight division. How the hell does that even happen? It's embarrassing.

                      How is it bad logic? It's not bad logic at all. It's only natural people would select a higher number is it not?
