your top 5 greatest heavyweights in history?

He would be right about Lesnar more often than not. Obviously once in a while the boxer would land before he got slammed into the concrete, but not often. Saying Heavyweight champions aren't Heavyweights is one statement that I can't defend

Well Holmes at least knew something about street fights: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zlQqSCzRrA

Gotta give Holmes credit for that one.

Skillz dat killz. That was like a move out of Street Fighter

I remember seeing that on Sportscenter, hilarious. He did it all that night, knocked out a stiff, performed a concert & then a super hero kung fu move.

No order...

Louis
Ali
Liston
Foreman
Holmes

yup

[Counter-puncher]

Wladimir Klitschko
Vitali Klitschko
Max Schmeling
Ingemar Johansen
Gene Tunney

Oh wait, that's Tunney's top 5

Muhammad Ali
Joe Louis
George Foreman
Lennox Lewis
Rocky Marciano

That's how I'm feeling today anyway, there's so many different factors to consider the poop changes for me constantly.

No Pernell Whitaker? I know he never fought at Heavy, but you have to think he could've done a number on some of these legends of the division. Sure, he couldn't actually become a HW, but if he fought them even at, say, 147 or 154lbs, you'd rate him a very good chance.

All I know is that Ali would beat more of the other candidates than anyone else.

My 5 picks at being the best head to head prime v prime
match ups.

In no real order

Larry Holmes, Muhammad Ali, Joe Louis, Mike Tyson, Evander
Holyfield.

George Foreman, Joe Frazier, Riddick Bowe and Lennox Lewis
are sitting close on the ourside ready to replace Holyfield...

My other list was for my Top 5 HWs that I watch over and
over for enjoyment purposes.

[Mr E]

Johnson
Dempsey
Louis
Ali
Holmes/Holyfield

You and I are in pretty close agreement (sorry if that scares you...)!

My top 5, chron order: Jack Johnson, Jack Dempsey, Joe Louis, Muhammad Ali, Larry Holmes.

On the contrary, Mr E, your posts are always well considered. I come on sites like Boxrec to read the opinions of people who know what they’re talking about. You’re definitely an asset to the forum.
