    No one with a functioning brain.

    Thought you'd jumped on the Lewis train too.

    Whitaker was a fine boxer. He didn't make ugly fights.

      He is well spoken and very smart no doubt but it is not really what i am looking for in the HW champion of the world. He is build like Tarzan and fights like Jane.
      There is nothing about this man screaming baddest man on earth. Usually guys that have boring styles like him try to make up for it outside of the ring ( Mayweather)
      The few times he actually gets into some sort of trash talk, he sounds corny
      (Giving David Haye a pizza face....lmao)

      Honorable mention: Lennox Lewis, Pernell Whitaker, Bernard Hopkins

      Thoughts?
      Wladimir Klitschko isn't an all-time great. Put him in a fight with a competant referee, and he gets wrecked by enough folks to make that position moot (Kubrat Pulev had him noodle-legged from a hard step-jab; no idea where the gif is).

      I don't rate him as an all-time great, but Manny Pacquiao isn't anything outside of the ring (the stilted English and answering questions behind Bible verses, one-word answers, and that dumb blank smile doesn't interest me all that much).

        But in their respective weight classes, yea, i guess theyre all ATG's.


        hopkins is on any top 100 list worth a damn.

        lewis is likely to be as well, but he's not as much of a shoe-in, the way hopkins is.


        hopkins is without a doubt one of the grestest of all time. lots of the discussionof hte "ATGS" involve a top 100 list, or top 10 in a weight class. hopkins is easily on both of those lists. easily.

          Lewis was very boring from time to time, but he's not an ATG.

          There was never a chance of drama in a sweet Pea fight.
