Greatest of All Time

One thing about me is that I won't bother listing guys whom I've not seen enough footage of to comment. I can't call you an ATG just based on what I can only read.
It's a known fact that writers back in the days were known to stretch things out.

I've also mentioned this before but I also remember reading a report on a SRR fight by 2 different writers during his career in the 1940s and the 2 writers told almost 2 different fights it was like they both had seen 2 different fights, now mind you this was in the 40s now imagine articles/reports from the 1800's & early 1900's? These guys could exaggerate and write just about anything. I don't argue the fact that they werent great fighters like Greb, Loughran, McVea you name them but how do we REALLY know these writters didn't exaggerate? I'm sure they would have a field day depicting fights and fighters. Til this day, what sells? Big stories. Lies. It was 10x worst then, that's how you sell something on paper. You put a huge headline and fill in a great story even if means lying.

Which is why I would just rather stick to fighters I've seen fights of or at least enough footage to be able to rate them. It's just my opinion and how I rate fighters. I can't compare a fighter I've seen vs. A fighter I've only read about. That to me is impossible and I refuse to go by someone elses words. I'd rather let my own eyes and mind decide.

- A guy that often get's a bit overlooked for my likings Hilario Zapata this dude fought some of the best names available won multiple titles and losing didn't mean a thing. He would come back and win again. I think he got the short end of the stick in the rematch with Bassa and the Laciar fight was a coin toss for me it could have gone either way. Even with that though I think he's an ATG.

More recent names who are still active somewhat... ODLH, RJJ, Hopkins, Holyfield, MAB and Erik...
