    Emile Griffith - Yes
    Benvenuti - No
    Monzon - **** no
    Hagler - **** no
    Hopkins - Yes
    Taylor - Yes

    That's about 11/22 so he definitely isn't an atg in my eyes but he is a great fighter who would be a threat to every past mw champion had they fought.

            Yes means that GGG would beat them. No means GGG would lose. GGG would lose to Sugar Ray Robinson imo.

              The list is endless of greats that have moved up that much in weight.

              Your boy needs to as well, Vlad.
              Floyd had the height or reach advantage in 99% of his fights and he was never as outweighed as he claimed.

                If GGG defeats Canelo Alvarez (which I dont think he will) then he can be called an ATG.

                  If he wants to be an All Time Top 100 P4P than he has to conquer the SMW and LHW divisions, if he can get CW and HW he'll be top 10

                    As I said previously, all of those fighters moved up in weight by 20lbs and won World Championships. When your boy does the same and claims major scalps, we can then mention ATG and GGG in the same sentence.
