    No, I believe and this is just my opinion that you need more than one good one victory to be labeled as a ATG. Now he can go down as having one of the greatest performances.

    why was this question asked? everyone is gonna say no. ur basically saying anybody who beat an atg in prime, regardless of there actual records is an atg. I think the hall of fame would be pretty full then......

    hall of famer. yes, for that victory alone. atg. no. that is the highest honor only reserved for all time greats. Ali, Robinson their atgs. it's like comparing joe montana with boomer esiason. montana is an atg for helping create a dynasty. boomer a hall of famer for being a very good talented qb, but fell abit short. Very good accomplishments, just not great. no shame in that

    hell no.

    Performing consistently makes you an ATG. Douglas did not
