    ATG defined as being ranked top 100 all time.

    Our era being defined as any fighter being active in the 21st century.

    ATG shouldn't include as many as 100 fighters in my opinion, maybe about 15-25 ATG, and 25-100 as greats.

    So nobody is in the top 25.

    My general number for the oft raised general question "how many ATG's are there?" is 50.

    25 cuts too many deserved fighters out and doesn't allow for a balance in valuing different eras.

    But 100 just seems way too kind for a good bit of them.

    IMO
