    Simply amazing. Even if you say that some of these guys don't belong in their respective positions, all you have to do is sit back and think a minute, and remember who exactly all thses fighters were and -- well -- it's simply amazing that one man beat them all.

    That is a real ATG. A man who beats fellow ATG fighters.

    Would I be correct in saying that you have to be retired to get on that list?
    Because if so,Lennox Lewis would have a good number of top 100 fighters by the time all the current oldies get around to retiring!

    Hes already got Bruno,Tyson,Mercer,Akinwande,Tubbs and even Grant is just about in the top 100.
    When McCall,Holyfield retire he'll have them on the list.
    Klitschko, then maybe even the likes of Briggs,Botha,Tua could all sneak into the top 100.

    Ali, without a doubt right after Sugar Ray Robinson as ATG P4P.

    As for that list.. how is Foreman only 16? He should at least be top 10. If Foreman was in his prime now, he would walk through the current division. The guy is a tank.

    Matter a fact, I think if you had Foreman, Chuck Norris and Mr. T on your side you would be unstoppable.

    Plus

    Jones, Hopkins, Kessler, Mitchell, Bika and more when they have all retired, no other current fighter can match him.

    :good Floyd couldn't last one round with Liston, on either occasion! Good fighter and class act that Patterson was, all three you mentioned simply must be ranked higher than Patterson for this list to be taken seriously.

    I was thinking exactly the same thing!! No disrespect to the big fella but i'm gonna have to view this list in it's entirety, that can't be right (Well Patterson at #4 says it all)!! The best of it is, London isn't #100, he's #90!!!!!

    You're taking the **** right? :huh

    Akinwande, Tubbs, Grant, Briggs, Botha won't be making any top 100 heavyweight ATG lists.
