What Fight Made Your Favorite Fighter an ATG?

[IronDanHamza]

Yea, I know. Just felt like throwing some bait in there. I still consider it a great win though, just like beating a past prime B-Hop, age doesn't affect their skillset, their strong suits, their styles age well.

That style doesn't necessarily always age well.

Pernell Whitaker had a ******* habit at that point and was struggling to beat the likes of Riveria and Hurtado.

Solid win for the young De La Hoya, no more no less.

I think for Barrera, it would be the Hamed win. He'd had his ups and downs, but he was the man that night against a very big name opponent in the sport and he clearly beat the prince in impressive fashion.

When Brian Sutherland went 47 seconds with the most feared fighter on the planet (not to mention roided up), Kenny Rainford. That cemented Brian's legacy and his place in my heart.

Floyd schooling a young Canelo, then his victory over Pacquiao sealed the deal that he was an ATG

Haha. Legendary no doubt.

Morales became my favorite fighter since the first time I saw him vs Barrera 1.

ATG status reached, probably after Pacquiao 1.

The Victory over a Pacquiao (though 1 handed at that time) that was ****ting and eating the Featherweight division was just epic on his part.

Pacquiao - Hatton and Pacquiao - Cotto

with Hatton I was hoping for a battle because Hatton's style is always a dog fight but he just made him look silly.

Cotto was my 2nd favorite fighter after Pacquiao during their prime and i thought that no way in hell Pacquiao will be able to stand up with this guys after going thru hell with the 3 mexicans. Then he just went in there NO FEAR whatsoever and just won. i thought i was going to have a heart attack every time he gets pinned in the ropes.

The Cotto win was very impressive. He beat down a guy who was held in high regard at the time and beat him badly. The Hatton fight was a surprise to me. I thought Hatton would give him a lot of trouble, but then BOOM. Lights out.

Not when they're abusing ******* though. But I agree even a coked out version of Pernell Whitaker is not easy to beat.
