What active fighters are ATG's in your opinion?

Point taken.

I mean comeback from retirement, not comeback in a fight

 

Jones Jr.
Mayweather Jr.
Pacquaio
Barrera
Hopkins
J.M. Marquez
Mosley

 

I guess his stock would seriously go down if he was to lose to a Super Featherweight, but should everything he already achieved be undone?

I still think he'll go down as an all-time great even if he loses. I'm not necessarily talking top 50, but he is a lock for top 100. Easily.

 

What about Winky Wright? I know it's a stretch but I consider him as high as I consider James Toney.

 

Toney
Holyfield

 

beating a lightweight (at best) wont cut the mustard. he will have to beat mayweather or another star or 2 around his weight to claim tht title

 

Good list.... & if Morales & Barrera are still considered active then they easily make that list, great fighters.

 

The bar will fall a lot lower than you guys think.

Pacquiao, Hopkins, Mayweather, Jones, Holyfield, Mosley are not future greats they are future legends.

Fifty years from now people will obses about them on sites like this just like we talk about Willlie Pep or Archie Moore.

Jersey Joe Walcott was not regarded as a great fighter in his day and perhaps not a proper world class fighter in some parts. Today he is a point of contention in many of our threads. I don't doubt that fighters like Antonio Tarver and Glen Johnson will develop similar followings among future fans.

 

No Sam Peter?

Whatever nex? :rasta

 

Interesting choice...I really don't know about this one. Anyone?

 

Uh no, not for me. Solid contender types that will only be remembered by the hardcore fans in 30-40 years.

 

Paul Williams
Chad Dawson
Joan Guzman
Dirrell
David Haye
Amir Khan
Gamboa
JuanMa
Bradley

At least 4 of those will become ATGs imo

 

I really like Winky, but he is not on the same level as Toney IMO. Toney has a stronger, deeper resume, greater longevity and achievements, and in his middleweight prime Toney was a better fighter all-round.
