    You consider Pascal to be a historically great fighter?

    Most fighters aren't called atg's until they are retired. This lie that's been told about Pac facing atg's in their prime is just that, a lie. Sure, you can face a great fighter in their prime, but atg? Rare.

    Gomez wasn't prime, he was a drug addicted Heroin user who came up in weight before facing Sanchez.

    Torrecampo and Singsurat beat Pac. Knocked his dik in so I guess that they are atg's.

    WE don't get to judge who todays atgs are IMO. Once the dust has settled 10 or 20 years after their careers are over the boxing pundits and fans of the future can make a more sober judgement as to how the boxers of this generation stack against the atgs of the past.

    That said, Floyd, Pac, Roy, 'Nard and Wlad will probably all be in the discussion when the time comes.
