Tunney never beat Greb 4 times.I am austrian. and I follow the sport of boxing since 20 years. I have seen it all, read it all, compared it all. I know stuff about guys like Harry Wills, Sam Langford, Sam McVey and Joe Jeannette that you cant even dream off. your ******ed asss has probably not even heard of those guys. You probably dont even know that Jack Dempsey didnt fight black guys and if he would have, he wouldnt have been a world champion as long as he was. I know that Gene Tunney fought Harry Greb 5 times and beat him 4 times. and that is just BASIC stuff I am talking about now. But I bet your silly asss doesnt even know those things.

Wins and Losses and some Knock Outs are great and all but I also think:
THE TYPE IMPACT YOU HAVE ON THE NEXT GENERATION AFTER YOU!
Some nerdy guy who only been watching boxing for 2-3 years is not qualified to tell you who is a ATG and who is not, I have some respect for what guys like maybe Bert Sugar thinks because he is older and seen a lot of fights but I have even more respect for what the FIGHTERS think, earning the respect for year PEERS is even more important then earning the respect of fans, because the Average Fans opinions changes after every fight...according to the "AVERAGE" Fans, your a ATG after one win and your a Bum and Overrated after one loss
that is why P4P list should be voted on by the fighters and trainers...not a room full of nerds who never boxed before giving their opinions on who they think is the P4P Best
for example, Mayweather gets bashed by the Media and Fans, but he is your Favorite Fighters...FAVORITE FIGHTER and he gets nothing but respect from his PEERS and also no fighter fighting today will have more of an impact on the next generation of fighters then Mayweather (LIKE HIM OR NOT), you already see it in guys like Adrien Broner, Gary Russell Jr and even Andre Ward and Canelo talks about how they studies Mayweather, more guys using the Philly Shell Defense and why the hell wouldn't they?...when you can influence the guys after you to the point in which they try to pattern themselves after you, that ALSO makes you a ATG IMO!Comment
