    Top 10 atg heavy in terms of accomplishments.

    In his prime H2H theres no more than 3 heavys I'd favor over him.

    Confusing poll options.

    Similar to AGM, I'd have him around 10-13 in a HW list.

    High-level ATG, Still youngest HVY to date, Can make HOF, Very exciting to watch, Regained titles during the 90's. PPV king at once. Never will be another like him.

    After his performance against "Bonecrusher Smith" he looked like he was old and had zero power and hadn't really beaten anyone up to that point!

    He was one of the most gifted HW's of all time :good

    Ability wise hes a top ATG, but all things considered i think he's lower-mid ATG.
