    Nice list, but Dempsey, Marciano,Sanchez, Jones Junior and maybe Tommy hearns/Jimmy Wilde are worth a mention

    Personally, I'd take out the last three on your list and replace them with Dempsey, Marciano and Jones Junior

    Maybe I should have added....

    I wont put someone on my list that I havent seen sufficient enough footage of which is why I have only recently included Hank Armstrong & havent included greats like Charles, Langford & Greb.

    If Im taking off anyone, it probably will be Mayweather but I sure as **** wont be replacing him with Marciano, maybe Hagler or someone but not Marciano.

    Mayweather is a level above Marciano in terms of talent, lets get real here, Rocky is massively overrated tho still a top 10 HWT.

    Needs more Pernell Whitaker and Ezzard Charles and Sam Langford, with less Lennox Lewis and Bob Foster and Jack Dempsey and Marciano.

    And it's Harry Greb, not Henry...

    Why shouldn't Eubank be an ATG 100, if Hopkins is... then Eubank has bigger names he beat on his resume than Hopkins, at least Eubank beat ppl his own size and not way smaller!

    God and teh amount of idiots leaving out Bob Fitzsimmons and Joe Calzaghe.

    Dempsey's #1 contender was Harry Wills. In spite of serious political support in New York for a Dempsey-Wills match, it never happened.

    IMO, Dempsey's #2 contender was Harry Greb.Greb twice embarassed Demspey in sparring, and was ducked - admittedly ducked - by Dempsey's manager.

    Jack Dempsey is not a top 100 ATG, and not a top 10 ATG at heavy. Top twenty all time is a joke.
