    The opponent can be ATG’s themselves or not. Maybe they destroy them due to style matchups or something else.
    Some examples would be Liston vs Frazier, Liston vs Norton.
    What are some of your picks?

    As much as the thought pains me, Wilder would probably knock Patterson's soul out of his body.

    I've always felt that Bowe is stylistically wrong for Frazier & would beat him comprehensively. Not quite the Foreman massacre, but still a decisive victory - whether it be on Points or Mid-to-Late Stoppage.

    I think George Foreman both HAS and WOULD destroy some all time greats

    George Foreman and Mike Tyson might actually commit manslaughter on Marciano. Foreman imparticular. Can't think of a worse potential match up.

    One in particular, Dempsey vs Liston, I could see either man winning in devastating, lopsided fashion.

    Thoughts on Tyson-Wlad? For a long time I’ve always thought that Tyson would blitz him early, but having second thoughts after watching the Bonecrusher and Tucker fights.

    I think Tyson would destroy Frazier early one is the fastest starting Heavyweight of all time the other was slow out of the blocks seems like a bad match up for Frazier to me.

    I mean there's always a chance Frazier gets out of the early rounds and can make a war of it late on. But I personally think Tyson blitzs him early.

    It’s possible either way. I still pick Tyson to blitz him because Klitschko was very fragile, which Smith & Tucker were not. Of course, Klitschko was significantly better than Smith at least, & overall more of a task than Tucker. It’s possible Klitschko could survive…could he win? I wouldn’t completely rule it out.

    Now if it were his talentless punching bag of a brother on the other hand…

    Vitali would beat Tyson

    Tyson would blow Dempsey away

    Lewis would murder Marciano, Frazier, Dempsey

    Patterson would get his chin shattered by any big puncher heavier than him

    I think we can safely class Usyk and Fury as ATGs is AJ or even Wilder considered ATG if they are I can think of a few past greats that would smash them up

    Jack Dempsey would be removed from his corporeal flesh by Wilder too

    Langford would get flayed by Tommy Morrison
