    Very good fighter but unproven and becomes a bit of a what if. It also just reflects poorly on him. Turki would have paid big money for him to fight Shakur. Yet he’d rather have some freakshow fight and retire?

    This guy is so on Maywearhers nuts, so I'll rate him the same.

    May put in the work but was the GOAT in playing the game to his favor. I give props where its due, his skills are ATG in the eye test but we've never seen it put to use at full throttle. His resume on names ALONE is 11/10 but context, he fought them all when they were at a 7.5~8
    5/10 (never the prime time) thus, May to ME, is absolutely not an ATG by historical standards but a top 1~3 in 130~135, a top 20~30 above.

    Tank put in 30% of the work, and 10% of the resume, but best believe he is an 10/10 in the opponent selection aspect thus, I put him as a top 75~ in any weight class he's participated in. That may be generous or harsh to others depending on what you guys prefer, but its just my opinion.

    Average would be the pretty obvious answer.

    I’m the one ATG vote. He’s an All-Time Great disappointment, one of the most disappointing to ever do it.

    Who who you take at 135, Broner or Tank? I see the fight being a low output offensive counter fest. Wouldn't be surprised to see 30 punch per round average between both guys. I lean towards Tank.

    Good talent with zero ambition who’s literally the emnodiment of everything that’s been wrong about boxing.
