    First and foremost, I want to say welcome back :smooch

    Now after this fight yesterday, I was one of those people riding Bernard's nuts and still am. But come on now, he's not a top 10 atg.
    And while I'm at it, neither is Pacquiao :nono

    This is nothing against these two great fighters, but more of me just showing respect to the 10 best fighters of all time.

    This is not me doing that, old fighters are always greater than modern day fighter bull**** either. The top 10 list is a very hard list to crack.

    I want you guys to watch this video and I give all credit for the video to TartanSoldier

    Even as a ******* and a Hopkinstard, neither of them come close to my top 10.

    This should be common sense and not even require a thread. Unfortunately this isn't the case.

    So yeah, I agree.

    pac knocks 3 or 3 of those dudes into next week based on modern day training techniques, nutrition and a side meff.

    nice history lesson, but lets be real..atg rankings change all the time. they should accomodate modern day boxers.

    pac is top 10 all time famous boxer!!:yep and an atg to boot.:yep

    yes man. I thought a thread like this wasn't needed, but then I saw already 2 threads saying that and another thread where 15% of people voted for him being there :-( I thought it became necessary.

    I also made this thread for those people who feel that way to come here and tell me I'm wrong

    it's not my list and I'd change a few things around like including Louis, but I liked it because he made the list and gave very good explanations for his choices

    it's about who they fought and who they beat, not about how good they were...

    h2h and p4p are different things
