    There seems to always be a mixed reaction with oscar's skills and ability. IMO he was the face of boxing for a period of time, and was a beast in the lower weight classes before he started moving up (not for nothing, he was still a great fighter, but not a "beast" like in his early career). Definetly an ATG in my book! :good

    Define ATG as you understand it.

    Yes of course. A greater fighter than others now considered ATG's. His record is just so good everyone is nitpicky about it. The average dudes on Hoya's resume that fade into the background are "best wins" on other "ATGs" resumes or would be had they fought them. That is the truth. :deal

    Uliuli is the master at breaking down Hoya's resume. Ask him.

    100% an ATG. Deserves respect for fighting the other big names and not ducking anyone. First time I actually saw him was how he dismantled Julio Ceser Chavez, that was a truely stunning performance.
