    Are you talking about CONCRETE Margarito? He had to retire in shame because that coward couldn't beat anybody worth anything without concrete. Mosley, Pacquiao and Cotto beat his ass to a pulp without concrete. It was JUSTICE that it was Cotto who sent him into RETIREMENT!

    Top 15. Greatest and Best are not the same. I do think in his prime he's the most complete fighter ever. (Best)

    But his accomplishments aren't the greatest.

    I look at him like a Lebron almost. One of the greatest skillsets ever imo, better skillset then some of the people who will remain ahead of him on an ATG scale.

    Kareem is more accomplished then Lebron, but would I personally want his skillset over Lebron's? No.

    See that's why I didn't post a list of the top 30 after I said that neither May or Pac had breached that threshold yet. I checked the classic sections 100 p4p list and thought, I see a couple of overrated old *******s on here May and Pac are better than. I really don't rate Fitzsimmons top ten. He seems a little over mythologized at this point and I'd rather have Benny Leonard, Walker, or Pep in there for the guys with no or almost no footage like Greb and Langford.

    Floyd is a top 20 ATG. He will be in top 15 when he beats Pacman. Notice, I didn't say "if", I said "when" :yep
