    If we're being honest, at their peaks:
    Mike Tyson
    Erik Morales
    Ricardo Lopez
    James Toney
    Felix Trinidad

    Lennox Lewis, Marquez, and Barrera all had pretty bad losses early, but through their sustained excellence achieved ATG status
    IMHO, Ward and Calzaghe aren't ATG

    In retrospect, I could have substituted Morales with Barrera, but Erik Terrible was My Guy. I just feel those first 5 guys had that aura, through their first 40 plus fights going undefeated and doing some great things.
    I rated Tyson because of his invincibility when he was a youngster

    Tyson is a way bigger name and star of the sport worldwide and he was more exciting than any of the above 5 names but those 5 names beat great fighters more often than Tyson did, so I put them above him.
