Top 5 ATG HW fighters! Take your picks!
Rocky Marciano
Jack Dempsey
Joe Louis
Jack Johnson
Muhammad Ali
Re: Top 5 ATG HW fighters! Take your picks!
In no particular order , and I'm sure many will disagree:
Ali - Say no more.
Louis - Dominated for so long.
Holmes - Again, was no.1 for a long time.
Tyson - At his peak and at a very young age, not only did he dominate , but he had grown men beat before they even stepped in the ring.
Marciano - as they say nowadays, nobody had the Blueprint! People can say what they like about size or quality, but as he never lost, we don't know what his limits would be.

I wouldn't put Muhammad Ali in the Top 5, or over Larry Holmes.

Larry Holmes would have beaten Cassius Clay/Muhammad Ali anytime they fought,
while in the Prime phase of their careers.

I think that you are being disrespectful by not using full names.
Are we going by the 'Best by Era' or 'Best by Skills' or 'Dominance'.
Go see .......... Rudi Lubbers before you put Muhammad Ali at #1.
