ATG's and HOF fighters since 1980

I'd switch Pryor, Arguello and Spinks with Morales, Barrera and Trinidad/Oscar myself.

 

Arguello and Spinkshave tobe considered all-time greats. I'd rate them clearly ahead of De La Hoya, Morales, Barrera, and Trinidad.

To the thread starter, Wilfredo Gomez is an unquestionable all-timer. I'd put Nelson, McCallum, and Toney in there too. Kalambay and Chang perhaps, but I'm partial to them. Some might say otherwise.

Canizales, Qawi, Curry, Starling, Bowe, Davila, Tapia, Watanabe, Wright, Roman, Lora, Arbachakov, Hernandez, Taylor, Norris, McGirt, Laciar, Zapata, Yuh, Moon, Zaragoza, Wilfredo Vazquez, Rafael Marquez, Israel Vazquez, Casamayor, Castillo, Corrales, Sahaprom, Wonjongkam, and Moorer in the hall of fame category. I think there are levels within that category, however. Some of them rate clearly above the others (Canizales, Qawi, Curry, etc. over Cotto, Vazquez, Corrales, and Marquez for example). If you're going to put somebody like Ricky Hatton in there (and if Gatti actually made it in this year), names like Eubank, Benn, and Jackson wouldn't be out of place. Even Arce and Montiel in that case.

 

Whitaker, Mayweather Jr, Jones Jr, Hopkins, De La Hoya, Toney, Holyfield, Lewis, Tyson, Bowe, Klitschko, Chavez, Pacquiao, Barrera, Morales, Winkey Wright, Trinidad, Mosley, McCallum, JM Marquez, Cotto, Andre Ward, Donaire, Virgil Hill, Hagler, Hearns, Leonard, Duran, Benn, Jackson, McClellan, Mugabi, Norris, Camacho, Tszyu, Ricardo Lopez, Nelson, Hamed, Tapia, Spinks, Holmes, Nunn, Benn.

 

I haven't thought it over too much but I'd say Benitez and Rafa Marquez are HOF's.

 

That was the first thing that got my eye Gomez and Nelson are ATG.

 

Marco Antonio Barrera, Erik Morales, Wilfredo Gomez, Azumah Nelson, James Toney, Mike McCallum, and Oscar De La Hoya are ATGs. IMO.

Myung Woo Yuh, and virtually every other fighter listed by JMP are HOF material.

 

I agree with your list.

Bowe is borderline HOF. He really only had one opponent on his CV and that was little Evander. And Bowe was never considered the best HW in the world (LL was). But it may still just be enough for HOF. Jermain Taylor, Norris, Moon, Sahaprom, Ayub Kalule, Wonjongkam, Moorer, Eubank, Benn, Collins, De La Hoya, Wright, Mosley, Mugabi, and Thobela fit well in HOF.

 

I'd like for someone explain to me why Aaron Pryor is an ATG. I need educating.

 

Can Vic Darchinyan enter this list?

 

:deal

 

Sanchez? he is an ATG

I mean, all of his world level fights were post 1980 (and especially considering you have Duran in there too)

 

Amazing Leonard is considered best of the 80's based on 12 fights.

 

:yep

 

He's the goddamn Sugar man.
