    And you don't agree you're childish? *

    As for the McClellan response. Go look at that response again, check the bold statement I highlighted...it's as if I didn't highlight the fact that the thread was about ATG's...:huh

    Refresh my memory...when did I have a Southpark avatar?...I genuinely can't remember if I did or didn't.

    I would bring back Sugar Ray Leonard at 147 to silence the Pac-Mayweather hysteria. SRL would drop Pac like a bad habit. Little Floyd would lose his urge and go on vacation.

    I like Holmes and feel he gets underrated sometimes, but he would lose to the brothers. Noone beats either Klitschko in a jabbing contest and Holmes doesn't have the one punch power to take advantage of Wlad's chin. A big physical fighter with power and skill like Lennox would be the biggest threat to either Klitschko on their best night, but noone outpoints them.

    You think both Klitschko's have a greater jab than Holmes?

    Tommy Hearns at Middleweight/Super Middle Weight

    Not that he doesn't have a cemented legacy already, but I could see him easily winning the Super Six (too quick and mobile for AA and Froch, too powerful for Ward and Dirrell). Actually, he has all of the best abilities of all those guys, rolled into one fighter. Great movement, jab, right hand, speed, technique...

    Unification at Middleweight, not a problem, except maybe with super speedy and unorthodox Martinez.

    Martinez would be a great win for him.

    Paul Williams, tall and lanky, is actually the same height as Hearns...although PW still has a 4 in reach advantage....but a smaller KO%.

    He could also easily beat Pavlik, who would be a sitting duck waiting to get KTFO.

    It would definetely be a HW.

    There is plenty of competition in the lighter weights for fighters to raise their status. THere is none at HW since they dont want to fight each other. You bring in a guy like Ali, Tyson, Frazier or Louis and theres 3 potential fights right there and all easily winnable for the ATG.

    I picked a Middleweight because I think Heavyweight, Welterweight and Lightweight all have someone (Wlad, Pacman, JMM) obviously capable of unifying the titles if they fights were able to happen.

    The MW/SMW divisions have a lot of guys, but nobody that stands out dramatically better than the rest...except maybe Martinez.

    Bring back Ruben Olivares to clear out the very competitive Bantamweight division.

    Eder Jofre.

    We don't have as much footage of Jofre as we'd like, so it'd be educational to bring him back and see how efficiently he'd sort out the Bantamweights. Likewise, he also has the frame to move up to 122lbs and 126lbs if he cleans up, and then he'll have a go at the likes of Hasegawa and Montiel.

    :good

    Some good points. I never thought about the Super 6 actually...this tournament if they were in it from the start would look good on some already great resumes.
