    I think most consider Johnson an ATG...the other 4? Yeah you are correct most of us don’t.

    decent thread idea either way....not sure I have one off the top of my head?

    Joltin’ Jeff chandler might be the guy I am most likely to overrate

    That was one bad dude....Jeff Chandler is at the very least a live underdog against anyone at 118

    Up until recently...people didn’t consider Erik Morales and Marco Antonio Barrera as all time greats ....I’m glad they’re starting to get some love

    I doubt many would consider Usyk great, but I think his run at CW is good enough to warrant that label.

    H2H the best at SBW for me. He is the only guy I would pick over Bazooka Gomez

    All about opinions. I'm not the type to go judging other proples opinions. It's rather distasteful if you ask me

    You’re right. I thought I was just giving my own opinion on a discussion forum. Didn’t realize how much of a scumbag I was for doing so. Thanks for setting me straight.
