    But they was never found using until they retired. No was it performance enhancing.

    When you say our era you forget that this forum consists of members who watched SRR do his thing, as well as those who have only been involved in the sport long enough to know the names Mayweather and Pacquiao.

    If we go by era's that span around a decade than here are my ATG picks and some of the HoFer's off the top of my head from within my lifetime:

    David Haye is underrated but he hasn't done enough to warrant HoF worthiness. Overall, Hagler had a much more accomplished career than Tyson.

    Really good list.

    I'd go with just a few changes to mine of some men you list as HOF'ers who I believe warrant being "ATG's."

    As far as the men you list as ATG's, I agree, with the exception of Tyson.

    As far as men you list as HOF'ers, you need to add for the 2000-2010 era Ivan Calderon and Pongsaklek Wonjongkam. The only man I'd remove from any of those is likely David Haye from that same decade.

    Obviously you keep a tight lid on the number of guys you believe are "ATG's" and that's not a bad thing by any means.
