    Excellent pick.

    Toney is defenately an all time great, and has been underrated in recent years.

    That's true...I totally forgot about Toney. Old-school fighter.

    I have it on DVD.

    Pretty much what you would expect. A grossly overweight shot to pieces Riddick Bowe beating on an absolute can.

    I know that technically they are, but I just can't count guys like Toney, Holyfield and Barrera as still active, they are walking corpses.

    Yes, for me Barrera and Toney are greats.

    Well...

    Holyfield is already an ATG . In his case keeping fighting just hurts his legacy :-(

    Pacquiao is almost there. A couple of succesful defenses against worthy challengers and that's it.

    Gayweather :twisted: Yep, Gayweather could be considered ATG material too, but he still have to prove it with a successful comeback and fight some decent opposition

    Barrera, Hopkins and Toney are also solid picks

    It's not so much the opposition he beat, but how he beat them that is more impressive to me. His domination of Corrales, who was undefeated and knocking everybody out, is certainly one of the very best performances of the last 10 years. Likewise, he was just a Super Featherweight, but he successfully went up and beat one of the best Lightweights in the world, and beat a very game and still able fighter in Oscar De La Hoya up at 154lb. He still has to prove himself as a Welterweight, but the guy has some notable wins, and even better performances. He is an all-time great, in my view.

    He gets there based on his skills, consistancy, and his ability to perform at multiple weights.

    I don't doubt Gayweather skills, but I think that he is not an ATG yet.

    He still have to prove that he has the courage and spirit to comeback and put his precious "undefeated record" in the line :deal

    I felt he dealt with adversity pretty well against Castillo, and even if many do think he lost the first fight, he avenged the defeat like a champion does. Not sure if we should penalize a fighter for being dominant.
