Believe it or not I will say that Ray Leonard earned my respect the hard way. He didn't have my admiration until he had to reach reached down deep for something a little extra after being outfought to defeat a very skilled boxer and power puncher who had both height and reach advantage, by the name of Thomas Hearns, in their first fight.

Holyfield also, for the way he made the most of what he had. I'm not really a fan, and I wouldn't call him an ATG, but the way he managed something a little extra to win all those rematches impressed me.
