Foreman, Louis, Marciano, Lewis, Holmes 5 greatest of All Time

Frazier #6 and or Ali maybe #7---because those 5 in the title of this thread really FOUGHT their opponents and didnt run (though Lewis maybe did a bit too much hugging)

The All-Time List

#1 .... Jack Dempsey
#2 .... Joe Louis
#3 .... Larry Holmes
#4 .... James J. Jeffries
#5 .... Rocky Marciano

#6 .... Lennox Lewis
#7 .... George Foreman
#8 .... Jack Johnson
#9 .... Muhammad Ali
#10 .. Gene Tunney

Based upon > talent, era, competition, public appeal and historical content.

excellent ranking there Bill. I agree about Dempsey. He should be right in there maybe ahead of Lennox. Now that I think about it. Yeah, Lennox #6, then you know guys like Ezzard, Walcott, Liston, Schmeling---- funny how nobody ever puts those 4 guys in any rankings. Every one of them woulda gave Ali fits and probably beaten Ali.

Joe Louis is A #1 the Greatest of All-Time...25 consecutive successful title defenses in a row. Unmatched, unparalleled, and hands down the best. Shouldn't even be a discussion

Ali was the greatest.

bassed on all those things surely Ali needs to be number 1?

bassed soley on boxing tallent then there would be a strong argument against him being number 1

Lewis would beat Frazier every time

just caNnot see evander and smokin joe ahead of foreman and marciano. Rocky would beat frazier AND holy (Marciano would to holy what he did to ezzard) and Foreman would BLOW AWAY EVANDER IN HIS PRIME 1973.

I don't think Frazier is a top 10 HW to be honest.

Wlad?

for fucks sake, we can have at least 1 serious thread every now and again you know, we dont have to fuck about like children all the time

Joe Frazier

Unfortunately, Joe doesn't make the Top 10.

Ezzard Charles is right there with Joe in the Top 15.
