    Vitali, yes I'd say that's a good one.

    Cotto?

    Chris John?

    Pong? He technically did just retire.

    Not quite at the level I had in mind Mo.It's not like Jones has a truly defining loss that we'll be discussing in 2023 mate.

    At least Cotto went the distance with an ATG mate.

    You clearly dont remember the 100punch combo vs Soto-Karass I :bart

    :lol: Ok, sensible answer..

    Haye, Huck & Abraham but Vitali is the best example

    Froch has no place on this list.
    Again,he managed to go the distance with a stick on ATG and has a career defining win although it was not against an ATG

    I may have to dig out my "How great is Carl Froch?" Thread:twisted:

    Please guys,sensible answers only.And not getting stopped by fighters who will be ATGs means you don't qualify here.

    I think you are right.

    Although I do think Vitali will be more fondly remembered by fans. He's provided so much more excitement in the ring than Wlad and acts like an actual fighter. Plus, he's the only one to face a legitimate ATG.

    Wlad gets rated higher, Vitali gets the love.
