    Wlad Klitschko is still active.

    Kovalev, Ward, GGG and even Canelo are all potential ATGs.

    Ha ha ha, Fu¢kin' Canelo! ATG potential !?!
    Let me know when he's consensus ATG and I'll donate £10,000 to a charity of your choice and eat my own groin.

    NONE..outside of a part time fighter in Pac...which is why these fighters really need to try and face everyone they can and start cleaning out divisions to cement a fine legacy...in my opinion.

    Also they are going to have to move divisions more often than not.

    Manny Pacquiao
    Wladimir Klitschko
    Bernard Hopkins
    Juan Manual Marquez (he's trying to schedule a fight, so I consider him active)
    Andre Berto

    You consider Donaire to be an ATG? Interesting. Lock in for HoF, but not so sure about ATG.

    I don't consider Nonito Donaire to be one of the 100 best fighters of all time, no.

    But I do consider him one of the best fighters of the last generation, having a resume/accomplishments that speaks for itself.

    some idiots here!

    already atg: floyd, pac, wlad, hopkins

    could be atg: roman gonzales, winner of canelo vs ggg and if ggg can collect all the belts, winner kovalev vs ward, lomachenko (if he continues this schedule), fury (if he goes on to run the heavys)

    He's overhyped but he's still only 25. I'm not saying he will be an ATG but he has a legit resume for a guy of his age.

    Wlad so far has a better resume than anyone here except maybe Mayweather. 10 years on top of the most prestigious division of boxing.

    IMO you can't call Roman Gonzalez, Ward, GGG or Kovalev ATGs....not by a long shot. This may be because of the political divides in the sport these days or it may be because frankly they're just not into taking enough risks.

    So basically there is no close to prime or prime ATGs in the sport right now.

    The ones that are still active are:

    Pac
    Floyd - no he's not retired....
    JMM - apparently still fight
    Roy Jones - also sadly still fighting
    BHop - apparently still looking for one last fight...Mother rolling over in grave...
    James toney still has a licence somewhere...discraceful
    Cotto - on his last legs but still a decent fighter

    Wlad is not an ATG....he's a Jab Jab grabber that would have been the michael grant of any other HW era...Vitali was an ATG though...

    Why do people rank Cotto so high? Everyone deserves credit for fighting the best but losing every time you step up doesn't make you an ATG.

    Cotto is PR HOF at best.
