well i thought lamotta cause he beat prime SRR and knocked him down in every fight they had and cause he lost his best years due to mob politics,by the time he finnally got a title shot he was way past it

........and i was racking my brain for the last 2 ;D.........but fgrazier did beat ali and only ever lost to 2 men and riddick bowe ??? i think that was a bad choice...hes only claim to fame is his win over holy :-X

............did you say once that holyfield shouldnt be in top 20?

yea because even though im big fan of holy i dont think he did enough to get in top 20 and bowe only good wins is against holyfield so he doesnt derserve top 20

yea poor old jake had to take dive to get shot he was great no doubt but not top 20 imo

joe frazier only had few decent wins and his big win was against ali but he lost trilogy and he lost to foreman that for me stops him from getting in top 20


but overall good list :coolclick:

well i think holy deserves top 20 status.......he is considered by many including myself to be the greatest cruiser weve ever had and is a 4 time HW champ........

fu*k riddick bowe ;D

....but be honest with me ok...who else on my list do you disagree with? i know you dont think tyson should be top 20?

like i said bro he was going to be in number 20 spot but roy jones for winning so many titles and beating james toney hopkins virgil hill beats tyson top 20 spot

holmes is my favourite fighter in hw division as you know but i think he didnt really have top opponents in his era which was a shame

sorry i love the old mongoose what can i say one of best lightheavys of all time and just look at guys record its amazing

All Moores best wins came when he was past his best, When he was at his best there were better fighters about he admitted that himself

Where the hell is my boy Wilfredo Gomez???? i know he needs to be in the top 20 :o at least 20 :-\

Ezzard Charles, Jersey Joe Walcott, Bob Foster, Roy Jones Jr, Pernell Whitaker, Aaron Pryor, Archie Moore, Wilfredo Benitez, James Toney, Bernard Hopkins, Marco Antonio Barrera, Oscar Delahoya, Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao are all better fighters than Riddick Bowe ever was.
