Which among these fighters do you consider an ATG? Toney, Tszyu, Wright and Calzaghe

Interestingly Mosely will be an ATG yet wright and tszyu who were avoided by the best fighters of there era will not.

 

How can I "vote for more than 1 boxer" when the poll isn't multiple choice? :blood

 

Meaning top 100? is that your definition of a top 100 fighter?

In order
Toney
Winky-Calzaghe
Tszyu closely behind Winky and Calzaghe

Toney hands down the best of these 4 and an ATG no matter what your ciriteria is. Id say the other a borderline ATG lower top 100. I would put Toney in the top 60.

 

KT is definitely an ATG. Hilarious that he's not leading in this poll.

 

I think Calzaghe based mostly on his "O" rather than his body of work.


Toney is extremely overrated. I think he's barely a HOFer, barely and you could make the case that he isn't even a HOFer. His best wins were a shot Holyfield and Jirov. He got a gift decision vs Oquendo, consistently fought dirty and is a known PED cheat. He was also defeated twice by that bum Griffin. He was unable to defeat Rahman in 2 tries and got a draw against some nobody called Sanderline Williams.


Why is Toney held to such high standards?


Suspect extreme bias and irrationality when some1 calls a fighter an "ATG".

 

Come on guys, there surely can't be much debate about Toney being a clear number 1 here.

After him, I honestly think Winky's resume tops Calzaghe's for sure, especially considering Wink deserved the decision vs Jermain Taylor. And Winky in his prime at 154 was every bit as good as peak Joe C at 168, if not better. I can't see the argument for having Joe over Ronald myself, other than the zero, which doesn't mean much in reality.

 

Take up tennis.

Toney fought more quality fighters in one year than the guy in your avatar has in his entire career.

 

None. The phrase "all-time great" is tossed around far too casually in boxing.
