You cant answer this unless you have studied the whole sport which wouold take years, I doubt many here are capable maybe a few guys on the classic, thats why I have stopped making atg's list, whats the point of hearsay placings if you havent studied yourself.
Wel, that's a tough one cause you have to look for the whole boxing history, at least of the last 50 years but if you just go back to the 70s XX century, that may be easier. Lets's put it this way, JCC was a great fighter and had an astonishing record only bested by Rosario or someone like that and he lost his first meaningful fight not the first Randall fight or the first ODLH fight when Oscar who caught him in the 1st and cut him bad, very unlucky for him but it was when both ODLH nd Tszuy stopped him in the 8th round in the ODLH-JCC rematch at WW and LWW so Oscar started to build his legacy through Chavez and people like that. Manny stopped Hoya in the end of the 9th and Hatton is the 2nd who by himself stoped Tszyu's career at LWW so you definitely gat to give credit to Manny and explain it according to father time both for JCC and ODLH, Hatton and Tszyu. The same will happen to Manny but if he keeps on winning big fights and at so many different divisions with the help of the sanctioning bodies and Top Rank Inc, you gat to rank him close by to ODLH and JCC and that is top 20 at least.
come on man that logic is totally flawed, by that logic we need to rank lebedev with toney and jones jr.
Can't we just wait a year or two til someone retires so we get a proper evaluation on someone's greatness? At the very least, he is considered an ATG. Less than any 99% of any active boxers can claim.
