    First ballot hall of famer, one of the greatest European fighters ever and the greatest 168lbs champion ever.

    thats a good post. Hall of Fame yes, ATG????

    Hard to argue with his record, but i think when it comes to greatness, its not what u see on paper, its more what u see with your eyes, and im not sure Joe would be regarded as All Time if a poll was taken by genuine boxing fans. Great yes, but ATG? not so sure.

    I disagree. I think genuine boxing fans would more likely see him for his skill level and adaptability in the ring. Without question he's one of the greater boxers of this generation.

    Well ATG lists are formulated with skill of fighter and resume in mind.

    ATG is often a matter of opinion.

    IMO Joe is not one.

    HOF, quite easily.

    So in your opinion, who in the last 20 years has been worthy of an ATG status?
