    Aaron Pryor is nothing without cheating.

    Duran would lose to at least five lightweights I can name off the top of my head: Pac, JCC, Armstrong, ODLH, Mosely.

    Hagler would lose to Hopkins and Monzon and get totally clowned by RJJ.

    Roy Jones Jr. is the third greatest H2H fighter in the history of the sport.

    Kostya Tszyu was a better fighter in his pro debut than he was during the whole of his championship reign.

    Mosley jumped from 135 straight to 147 right over Tyzsu.
    Floyd fought Corley, Brussels, and Gatti at 140. Not even comparable to a victory over even an old Tyzsu.

    Roberto Duran is Grossly overrated
    Ray Robinson is my #4 ATG. (1. Benny Leonard 2. Ray Leonard 3. Pernell Whitaker 4. Ray Robinson.)
    100+ wins or fights is an overrated stat.
    Floyd Mayweather belongs in the top 10 ATG rankings.

    "Black fighters are often the most boring"

    "Jack Johnson would get pummeled by most light heavies today, so would Jack Dempsey"

    "Antonio Margarito was NOT wearing illegal wraps vs Cotto"

    "If Pacquiao beats JMM, and we still don't get a Pacquiao-Mayweather fight next, they should both be blacklisted from boxing, and not allowed to fight anyone else"

    "Yes, it was a sucker punch, Floyd"

    "Oscar could have easily gotten up vs Hopkins; shouldn't have went down in the first place"

    "SRR, while remarkable, wouldn't be this unstoppable force people think he'd be in modern times"

    "I re-watched Mayweather-Ortiz, and noticed Jesse Vargas has a shitload of acne on his back..steroids?"

    all I can think of, atm...

    Mosley skipped him to fight Oscar. I don't see how you can fault him for that. Some people consider that the best win of the decade.

    And Kosta had a shoulder injury and when he came back lost to Hatton. Not to mention he was with Showtime and HBO and Showtime fighters only fight eachother if it's a big enough fight, and that fight didn't count as one.

    Not to mention Floyd had spent a good portion of his career calling out Tzyu

    Bentiez should replace Hagler in the Fab 4.

    Ali is high in the ATG rankings, but over-rated
