    When you think about pretty much all of the ATG's, most have a "gimmie" fight or a slight "robbery" where you can make a case that they should have lost. Help name some of the guys who DO NOT have any fights like this

    - ODLH -> Pernell Whitaker
    - Floyd -> JLC
    - Pac -> JMM
    - RJJ -> Tarver 1
    - SRL -> Marvin Hagler



    Off the top I'm not sure if Tyson or Ali had any gimmie fights, but I'm definitely not 100% sure.

    Ali had Ken Norton.

    Maybe Wlad, if he's to be considered or Marquez?

    Hagler was never given anything. That's why he had such an attitude in the ring.

    Everyone who fights long enough tends to get one or two gifts. So what you are looking for is someone with a short record, who was always on the losing end of the robbery. Pernell Whitaker.

    You might want to go with someone who had an unusually short career or who's career was cut short like Salvador Sanchez or Yoko Gushiken too.

    Alternatively, you could go with the knockout artists who almost never let their fights go to decision like Ruben Olivares, Wilfredo Gomez, George Foreman, Vitali Klitschko, etc.

    How many ATGs does one need to beat in order to become one himself?
