    I classify Tszyu as one of the "greats." He fell just short of "all time greatness."

    Maybe not ATG when you consider all the fighters across all divisons, however he is one of the ATG Jnr Welters.

    ATG, no. He didn't even attempt to get his belt back from Hatton.

    Yes. First guy to unify his division in 30 years, top 3 all-time in the division.

    Whitaker once said Tszyu is the one fighter around his size in history he would fear fighting.

    Calzaghe once said he will never be an ATG and that he would lose to any great around his weight. I personally disagree, but he said it.
