    Does anyone consider Ernesto Marcel an ATG/Great? He was a professional for a few months less than 8 years.

    Sung-Kil Moon was only a pro for 6 years.

    Khaokor Galaxy only fought for 4 years.

    Marciano packed it in after about 8 years.

    Jack Dempsey was a great fighter for about a year and then devoted his energies to slacking, banging starlets and ducking Harry Wills.

    That's probably the REAL reason why Dempsey said to his wife "Honey.......I forgot to duck"

    Leonard's last great performance was against Marvin Hagler.
