GOAT to come from Britain. I will give you that. Beat a prime Hopkins and a slightly past prime Roy Jones JR (Who BTW, had just come off a superb win against Jeff Lacy, who had an amazing amateur background) Yet try telling that to these delusional yanks. atsch Tell me, how many rounds did RJJ win in that fight?:yep
If you use the criteria below you should have a Top 4 ATG as this; 1: Marciano 2: Calzaghe 3. FMJ 4: Sven Ottke If you consider that none of these have been beaten, or look even close to be beaten then it's a fair assessment that they could have never been beaten. People can suggest all they want about this and that, but there is no arguing with them 0's.
Agreed no arguing with the 0s, my Top 5 arnt all undefeated though because i base it on number of fights and strength of the oponents faced. Marciano you have a shout for though ill agree with you there.
I don't consider number of fights, if I did then I'd have people with loads of losses on their record near the top and that just isn't right. You'd end up with journeymen like this Ezzard Charles bloke off boxrec near the top. Boxrec is all wrong, clearly all the muppets on here use it rather than using common sense. atsch This Charles dude has like 40% losses.

I'm quite surprised that Roy Robertson was a top fighter in the 70's, because he genuinely did suck ass. What a pathetic era that was.
