    Only Pongsaklek and Wlad because of how dominant they were, their longevity as champs, and their willingness to fight different styles.

    Shane should’ve been an ATG, since he he had all of the tools and talent in my opinion to even go undefeated, but he was too inconsistent. He didn’t seem like he always wanted to be in the ring.

    The other guys on the list are all very good fighters, but calling them ATG’s is really pushing it.

    ATG is a broad term.

    What's the official definition of 'ATG' or is it just something made up on Internet forums recently?

    A lot of the names listed are very good, but surefire ATG? Not many.
    Wlad for his long HW reign , Gonzalez, maybe Cotto.
    Not sure Vitali is an ATG, though if you consider maybe being top 15 in a decision an ATG? Is he top 15 at HW? If he is, is that enough for an ATG ranking? Maybe.

    Mosley, Hatton, Tszyu and Bradley were very good. If they're top 15 in a division and if you accept top 15 as ATG, maybe. Perhaps not surefire ATG though.

    Interesting question.

    Could Floyd and Andre really be the last American ATG we could have?
    Wonder who will pick up the mantle

    I'm rather confused about this 'ATG' thing, I see it spouted a lot of internet boxing forums.

    Should have put Sergio Martinez on there. I hope he gets in the hall of fame this year. He deserves it for accomplishment and record and simply for being a unique and exciting stylist in the ring
