    Who can help me name all the ATG coming out of each decade since 1970?

    Wait another 20 years till the guys in our era would be getting their proper respect.

    Hmm... Parameters? Top 100 ATG? Turned pro in that decade? Best remembered for that decade?

    I'll just list everyone who has a top 100 case (I wouldn't consider them all to be top 100 locks myself) that I can think of and will take some liberties with the decades for guys who span multiple. If the 70s looks a little heavy it's because I've included guys who did a lot of their work in the 60s too.

    1970s: Arguello, Duran, Ali, Foreman, Frazier, Monzon, Benitez, Zarate, Miguel Canto, Wilfredo Gomez, Salvador Sanchez (11)
    1980s: Leonard, Hearns, Hagler, Holmes, Spinks, Jung Koo Chang, Nelson, Pryor, Tyson (10)
    1990s: RJJ, Lennox, Holyfield, Chavez, Whitaker, DLH, McCallum (7)
    2000s: Hopkins, Floyd, Wlad, Barrera, Morrales, Pacquiao, Zaggers, Sugar Shane (7)
    2010s: TBD

    I'm definitely forgetting some, but this is my first take.

    Mosley is always an interesting proposition for ATG inclusion. I don't believe he is but he isn't exactly miles away.

    Iron Mike too, it's that thing, do you go solely on resume or quality of opponents, mystique, peak...

    Ya, considering some of the names I included I'll update my list to include SSM.

    I should probably throw Tyson in there too even though I'm not much for his ATG status.

    They are both borderline for different reasons imo but nowhere near the ones that come first to mind when thinking about ATG's of the last two eras, it all depends how many ATG's we should accept, like 100 or 250 changes your personal criteria.

    :nod Very tough, there's quite a few guys on my list who I don't consider top 100 and I'm sure I forgot a handful who ought to rank higher.
