ATGs that never beat an ATG?

Manny sure. But Canelo and Oscar were different eras. Oscar before him and Canelo after him. It just worked in his favor in a lot of those match ups where people were past their primes or a few years from it when they fought him.

 

Pacquiao is an ATG. The question wasn't "in their prime". OP even says shot ATGs count too lol

 

In order to become a great, you have to beat a great. That is why there never was a great, because nobody could beat the first one to become the first one.

 

I thought everyone knew this.

 

Hopkins beat Tito, De La Hoya, and Roy Jones Jr.

 

Good catch. I don’t necessarily consider Tito and Oscar ATGs, but I have no objection to anyone that does. I’d forgotten about Jones, and he’s undeniable.
Honestly, I’d just laid down for a nap and was starting to see double as I was posting my answers

 

& Mosley too!

 

I don't consider Usyk an ATG.

 

Larry Holmes beat Muhammad Ali who is an ATG you said even totally shot fighters count so Ali counts for Holmes.

Alot of people consider Ricardo Lopez an ATG he certainly never beat an ATG or even a great fighter in all honestly.

I don't think Julio Cesar Chavez has ever beaten an ATG either.

 

Crawford.

 

Pains me to say this because I’m huge fans of these fighters…

Ricardo Lopez
Carlos Zarate
Ruben Olivares
Jung Koo Chang
Mike McCallum

 

Dempsey tops the list.

 

Great thread to the TS and great contributions by all. Cheers to all of you.
