    Tyson is a top 50-100 guy.

    Evander and Foreman belong in the top 40, I agree.

    Jones is usually put in most people's Top20. Same as Whitaker and Chavez.

    Manny has done a historical climbing through weight divisiones and has wins over ATGs like Barrera, Morales and wins over DLH and Marquez, etc...I think he deserves a place in the Top25.

    Mayweather was a pretty flawless fighter in his prime and his resume ain't bad.

    I view Mayweather as a great fighter but the hand picking of fighters is not my preference for ATG status.

    Manny is getting there.........

    Jones is a tad overrated in my book as I feel the resume is not terribly strong.

    We could go on all day. I guess it's just a matter of preference.

    Griffith cracks the top 30 and Gomez cracks the top 50, roughly speaking.

    I haven't made a full top 100 list as I feel I don't know enough about 1/3 of the guys that would have to be on the list.

    Hagler and Chavez too high. Pacquiao way too high. Gomez way too high. McGovern too high.

    Not bad otherwise.
