    Gatti for me at number three in my list.

    And theres absolutely no way hes an ATG.

    Hes arguably the most exciting fighter ever but not an ATG fighter not even close to being one.

    Top 5 includes Emanuel Augustus- he got robbed in more fights than I can remember but super entertaining

    Gatti lost whenever he would step up to an "A" list opponent. He is not an ATG.

    number 1, herol Graham.

    this is a joke btw! But his fight without fighting style is interesting for a few rounds.

    Saoul Mamby was a really really good fighter, and one of my all time favorites and he's definitely one of my Top 10 favorites. But in spite of his craftiness and crazy longevity, he was clearly no ATG.

    You feel Gatti is an ATG because you "feel" that he has a huge heart? Ok, well I guess that makes Margarito and Micky Ward ATGs too if youre going to do it like that, or anyone who can take great beatings. What is Gatti's best win? Fellow ATG Micky Ward?

    To answer the original question: Rigo. He instantly got in my top 10, and he wont have enough time in his career to make it to ATG status or even close to it.

    why did you lie and say you wasn't a fan of him. Proof ^^^^^^

    I think it absolutely hilarious that you dedicate your life to trolling every top white fighter , but your username is because of a domestic level black brit whos your favourite fighter ever lol, a guy who could only dream of achieving the things of the elite fighters you constantly hate on.
