No, I don't consider them ATG's. However, I wanna thank you for at least trying to defend Chavez's status in the boxing world using his resume, unlike everyone else who says he's great because they've been told so.
There are people who do consider those guys ATG though.
Do you consider Whitaker an ATG? If so based on what wins?
You wont get a real break down because most people here arent old enough and werent watching boxing then.
If you were 20 when Sr was fighting Taylor then you would be 50 today. I think the average age of posters would be well under 50.
If you arent from that era then its harder to rate fighters, you can watch them on a fight by fight basis but you dont have the same understanding of the landscape of the weight classes if you arent taking it all in real time.
New fans wouldn’t know the narratives before the fight as well. It’s all hindsight. For example even for the wilder fight, now he is considered a non boxing skilled heavyweight and would went on to probably lose more fights but before the fury-wilder II fury was the damn underdog..
