    List fighters who had ATG abilities, but did not end up ATG'S.

    Andrew Golota.
    He realistically beat Rid**** Bowe twice and was one of the most freakishly gifted HW'S ever seen. He's around 6'4 and can fight very effectively at 230-240. He beat Bowe to the jab repeatedly and just had overall boxing abilities and a very good idea of what Bowe was going to do before Rid**** even did it.
    Almost had the whole package and heading into the Lennox fight was rightfully so a favorite.

    Sadly he was a nutcase and after the Lewis melt down, he was never the same.


    James Toney(some of you might consider him an ATG though, that's up for debate)



    I think David Haye also have lower tier ATG abilities, but due to a variety of factors will never be considered one.

    James Toney is an ATG and it isn't up for debate.

      Dude, no offense, but putting Haye and ATG in the same sentence is almost immoral...

        I thought Roger Mayweather would be a HOF level fighter by the time he retired. He was a good fighter just not as good as I thought. Had a lot of very impressive tools but lacked in area's also.

        George Benton's another one.

              Zab had so much potential. Now look at him...

                Good pick on Nunn, that dude's skill level was phenomenal.

                I know I might get ****ted on for this but if the likes of Haye is going to be mentioned as ATG status then I think Vinny Pazienza deserves an honorable mention. Greg Haugen too for that matter...
