    Name them and the ones that still have an opportunity to be ATGs.

    A Generation is normally 20 years. so maybe 93 until now.

    When does the generation start?

    Well these are the most recent ATGs:

    - Floyd
    - Pac
    - Ward
    - Wlad
    - Calzaghe
    - Hopkins
    - Marquez

    Can't think of anyone else. Donaire was on his way but got exposed pretty thoroughly by a soon-to-be ATG.

    Potential ATGs:

    - Rigo (yep, it's gonna happen. Nobody is beating him at a weight he's comfortable at)
    - Bradley (I don't think so. Beating Pac legitimately could change my mind)
    - Cotto (not sure)

    Right! "our generation" isn't a fixed constant in this matter.
    Some posters here were walking around in greyscale for a large part of their lives and may have even cheered for Louis against Marciano, while others weren't even born when Holyfield vs Tyson I took place... So what's "our generation"? :blood

    Born in 86...boxing interest started around 2000 so Calzaghe, Pac, Flloyd and Klitchko's.

    Potential for Ward, Bradley and Golovkin if you ask me. Also I hope I will be telling my Kids about Lomachencko when they are my age.

    i put more stock on losing a competitive fight against tough/risky opponent/rival versus avoiding a fight.


    floyd losing a decision to pac is way better than floyd winning against ortiz/guerrero/shot cotto/drained canelo combined.

    thats just my opinion.


    floyd drained a nobody, lmao.
