    Holyfield: with wins over winner of Ibragimov/Chagaev, Peter and Wlad.

    Mayweather: with wins over Hatton (at 140), Mosley (at 147) and Cotto (at 147)

    Pacquaio: with wins over Barrera, Marquez, and hmmm....Chris JOhn?

    I think pacquaio already is an atg.

    but with Hopkins, I think he would need to beat:

    Wright, Calzaghe, Mormeck....and he would probably be top 5 actually

    Winky Wright- Hopkins, Calzaghe, and Taylor would likely earn him ATG status.

    LOL

    The closes active fighter is Oscar de la Hoya and unless he beats Mayweather in a rematch then beats the winner of Hopkins/Wright he is not going to get to Valhalla.

    Holyfield is simply not going to do it, unless he does a Foreman and retires; then 17 years later at the age of 60/61 wins the Heavyweight Championship of the World.

    Mayweather is struggling to break into the top 50 all-time at the moment.

    Paciquao has probably cracked the top 100 and is trying to sneak into the top 50...

    I wont go through all of them but first, you severely overrate fighters of the 1910s, and mayweather has titles in 5 divisions, undisputed in 3 of them. How many fighters here have titles in 3 divisions, much less undisputed championships?

    btw...Sandy Sadler is way to high..and CHARPENTIER??!??!?? What? Maybe if we were making a list of best european regional champs...
