hers mine. most more reasonable than the 1st one.
1. Lennox Lewis
2.Ali
3.Evander
4.Tyson
5.Larry Holmes
6.George
7.Frazier
8.Bowe (well he should have been)
9.VK (sorry)
10. "the beast from the east!" :o just kidding.........................
dude........wow....thought it was a joke till i saw his 2nd post.........did u se what lamon brewster did to golata....i kno he was older but all the other guys who should be on there were winning huge fights that old
here is my top ten .
1. Muhammed Ali
2. Joe Luis
3. Lennox Lewis
4. George Foreman
5. Mike Tyson
6. Larry Holmes
7. Joe Frazier
8. Floyd Patterson
9. Sonny Liston
10. Evander Holyfield
I haven't put marciano here because the best opponents he beat where out of their prime , if you say we should put marciano in the top 10 then we should put valuev to there after another 10 wins without loosing.
Jermaine Taylor
foreman was way stronger than ali. he was a monster, even to people like smokin' joe and ken norton who were powerful mo-fo's themselves. but what gets me behind ali 1000 days out of 1000 over foreman is that he did it with skill, and also heart. foreman-lyle was supendous, but it was ugly. ali was sweet, skilled, fast. i have never necessarily been for the underdog, but when it comes to skill and speed versus brute power, and a fine right lead by the way, then i will take the skill and speed any day. don't you agree?
If we're basing on Accomplishments and not potential how can Tyson be rated above Holyfield?...since a supposedly shot holyfield was hand picked as a sacrificial lamb for Tyson and spanked him???...Don't go with the "youngest champ in history" boloney because then you'd have to consider his loss to the C rated Douglas as a prime fight...this is just Tyson nuthugging...Tyson above Holmes, Frazier, Liston and marciano?!?!? ...ridiculous...question how long did Tyson reign as the "Undisputed Champ"?Quote:

1. Muhammed Ali
2. Joe Luis
3. Jack Dempsey
4. Sonny Liston
5. Larry Holmes
6. George Foreman
7. Rocky Marciano
8. Joe Frazier
9. Evander Holyfield
10. Lennox Lewis
i was thinking Prime vs Prime...LL my # 1.Quote:
