    Assume recent fighters who were active during last decade (1998 and up), and
    they are either retired or their carrier so far is already giving therm ATG status.
    Who would you choose?

    My favourites are (the year of last fight):

    Holmes (2002)
    L Lewis (2003)
    Holyfield (2007)
    Tyson (2005)
    Whitaker (2001)
    Duran (2001)
    Hearns (2006)
    Chavez (2005)
    Roy Jones (2007)
    Barrera (2007)
    Morales (2007)
    Hopkins (2007)
    Floyd (2007)

    Very close to make it later or not (say this or next year) under some circumstances:
    Calzaghe
    PAC
    Hatton
    Oscar
    Mosley

    Honorable guys who will not be in top 100 ATG (but maybe somewhere 100-200):
    Toney (2006)
    Tszyu (2005)
    Michalczewski (2005)
    Hill (2007)
    Eubank (1998)
    Trinidad (2007)
    Wright (2007)
    H. Camacho (2005)

    I think its personal preference if you think they should or not.

    In my opinion (I have put them in honorable place) they could deserve
    100 ATG spot but there is additional something which is preventing me from this.

    For example the whole Toney steroid addiction, the one dimmensionality of Trinidad
    or the last quit of Tszyu .... but you may think differently if you like.
