    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"
