Select your Top 5 ATG from list of 10 Legends

Crawford
Donaire
Gonzalez
Usyk
Ward

 

There are only 4 ATGs on that list.

 

Usyk
Ward
Crawford
Golovkin

I'm unsure between Donaire/Gonzalez I'd have to look at their records.

But I think those 6 names are the right names or maybe I could leave Golovkin off the list.....not really sure atm.

 

i went crawford, gonzalez, loma and ward.

couldn't decide the 5th. martinez was good but he's the only one who doesn't really have an argument for that place.

 

Miguel Cotto is getting underrated here hugely.

 

Is he really an ATG? HOFer for sure, but not quite an ATG imo.

 

cotto has some losses that should weigh against him. boy could he fight.

shows how narrow these historical questions are.

 

He definitely should be on the same tier Golovkin is, at least. Yet Golovkin is beloved around here and you never read not one positive mention about Cotto.

 

I don't think he should be on the same tier as Golovkin because he was never considered the best in any weightclass, very good fighter of course but i think he was always a bit below the very best fighters.

 

GGG isn't an ATG either imo, for what it's worth.

 

Oh but you are not comparing the guys around Cottos weight class and era, with the ones around Golovkin.... Golovkin fought guys that you never heard before or since anymore...
Going by that logic Jack Sharkey should be rated above Holman Williams or someone like that (was Holman Williams ever the number 1, I really don't know, I beleive not); I am making a extreme example, but it's the same logic.

 

1. Crawford
2. Chocolatito
3. Donaire
4. Usyk
5. Cotto

 

Yes Cotto did fight in tougher divisions but i don't think he was on same tier as Golovkin regardless, Golovkin was a better fighter overall regarding skill set, power, durability, etc.

 

In no particular order.

Usyk
Donaire
Cotto
Crawford
Ward

Gonzalez really up there too, but he's not as celebrated so he's not top 5. Fury, Golovking and Sergio aren't ATGs
