    Clearly not. He is a super talented boxer who may could have been (most likely) but he was fear-driven, and only had enough fear for one fight.

    Nope.

    No he did have one near perfect night against one of if not the most dangures boxers in heavyweight and perhaps boxing history. He should always have our respecct for this but he is not an all time great.

    No but his fight will go into the Hall of Fame and he will be forever remembered as the man who KOed The Monster Tyson as the biggest underdog ever.

    He will. No reason not to.

    Douglas will get into the Hall of Fame on that alone, he deserves it for that. Not for anything else and he's not an ATG.

    No way, he may have had won one of the biggest upsets in the sports history but that doesnt make him an ATG.

    No. He will be remembered forever, but he isn't even close to being an ATG.
