    ATG'S who could have been even greater?

    Roy Jones Jr could have been even greater, should have fought Benn,Eubank,Nunn,Mccellan, Dariuz, Jackson. Add those names and he go up another 20-30 places.

    Obviously Floyd Mayweather Jr..


    Mike Tyson.

    Lennox Lewis.


    Joe Calzaghe.. could have been even GREATER. He had the talent for it.

          Salvador Sanchez is the most glaring name.

            DLH, one of the most underrated ATG. He could have been looked at different should he have officially gotten the Trinidad and Mosley II decisions.

              calzaghe isnt an atg. smh. but floyd is a classic underachiever. i think pacquiao overachieved honestly so no he probably couldnt do more. vlad, but its not really his fault. SRL could have accomplished much more imo, he should roghtfully be greater than roberto duran, but he isnt because he choose to take time off which also eventually led to his decline. marvin hagler could have done more if he didnt quit after the leonard fight.

                All of them 'could' have been greater, everyone had a boxer that could have made them greater that they didn't fight or lost too but 'could' have beaten them.

                    Absolutely all of them.

                    Ali could have been, Robinson could have been, Duran could have, Armstrong, Greb, Charles....on and on.

                    For instance, Duran could have trained harder and not let his fat arse move him up like Toney today. He could have stayed at 140, beat Cervantes, moved up and beat Leonard, done better in the rematch and not quit, win or lose, beat Pryor later, not lost to guys like Laing etc. Could have trained as hard as he did for Leonard to fight Hagler and arguably would have beat him.

                    Anyone could have been better.
