Say you are a young HW, undefeated, Knockout artist, talented boxer/fighter, and you go on to unify the titles by defeating the Klitschkos and David Haye. And then continue on for about 4+ years against whatever is out there but none of those opponents can equal past ATG like Lewis, Holmes, Ali, etc. Can you still be an ATG if you fight 4+ years after unifying the titles and remain undefeated or does the lack of another ATG worthy opponent go against you? Basically, Is the Klits and Haye enough along with an undefeated record for a certain amount of time period defending the titles? And if so, could this person brake the top 10, even top 5?
Yes, but the key would be remaining undefeated, Wlad, is really good, so beating him along with Haye, Vitali, Adamek and Valuev, would be decent enough if he can get about 10 title defenses.
