    I'd need to watch more of his career. When I do rewatch his fights, I'm pretty consistently blown away by his level of athleticism, and how much talent it took to get away with fighting like he did.

    The resume of truly meaningful wins seems a little sparse, but I'm open to being educated on that point.

    No. All-time great entertainer, yes. He was a world class fighter, one of the better fighters of his day for sure, and he has a good amount of depth to his resume without managing to topple a great name.

    Word... NO! Hamed was exciting and fun to watch but he is not an ATG. Not even close.

    Nah nah nah . . . don't insert race issue here. Hammed was an exciting fighter . . . entertaining . . . but other than that his accomplishements doesn't qualify him to be an ATG. The only notable names in his resumes are Kelly, Mccullough, Cesar Sotto and Augie Sanchez. Barrera? He lost to Barrera. Yes he attempted one more fight after that . . . then quit.

    He quit the sports after just one loss.

    No. He did not beat any great fighters and wen he ran into one he was skooled. If he was great he wud have bounced bak after his loss but he didnt.
