    Hof is pushin it. Atg no. In his prime was a beast, Clottey-like defense, but this mofuka hits back! His jab was a beauty, clobbering power with heavy, heavy hands.

    There are only about 50 "ATG's" in my eyes.

    And then there are more when you classify "ATG in a (specific) division."

    I love Ike, but no.

    By the way, he made ODH CLEARLY duck a rematch of he fight he should've won.

    He could've been but no, he took too many prime years off after the Vargas fight, like 6 or 7 years before he came back again, during which time he could've chalked up another 15 wins or so and won another title or two. His resume could've been a lot more stacked.

    One of my fave fighters though, loved watching him work his trade.
