Louis
Forman
Lewis

Bowie to me blew out to fast if he would of lasted longer i would of put him higher and as far as shavers goes he never got the championship and he didn't beat Ali either like norton did.
Yeah but he knocked Norton out in 1 round. Bowe got the better of prime Holyfied, nuff said. I seriously think Ibeabuchi should be up there to. There aren't many who would have beaten him.
That's a very good list, I would move 6 of them and replace 3.Quote:

Tyson
Lewis
Frazier
Johnson
Jim Jeffries
Liston
Marciano
Dempsey
Holyfield
Langford
Walcott
Bowe
Schmelling
Tunney
Charles
John L Sullivan
Near misses – James Corbett, Vitali Klitchko, Max Baer, Floyd Patterson, Gene Tunney, Harry Wills, Ken Norton, Bob Fitzsimmons, Billy Conn
Lots of fighters were much better at Light Heavy, like Archie Moore, Ezzard Charles, Gene Tunney, Bill conn etc.
The likes of Jack Johnson, John L Sullivan & Sammy Langford are on the list, because it is a ‘Greatest’ list. Doesn’t mean I would give any of them a rats chance in hell of beating Vitali Klitchko, who isn’t on my list ;)
Is that in order big H or is it the top 20 that you have in what ever order
Top 10 are in order, but after that it's jjust too difficult to do, done as best I can ;)Quote:

My top 10 is etched into my brain but I have never attempted a top 20 and never will. I fear it will result in many hours of erasing and crumpling, until I am surrounded by a mountain of wasted paper and pencil shavings.
Nice imagery in that answer well maybe for you it can be ten i want to hear some list or at least comment on what you think of my list some changes i could make.

Think George should be a top ten and Marciano is to high and Louis i think is lower then Ali and you have alot of old time fighters but i think you have a intersting list thanks for the post.

Especially when Louis avenged that loss with one of the most dominant performances in HW history. I know Baer was lazy and arrogant and jerked off his title to the Cinderella man, but when Baer was motivated, (i.e. against Schmelling and Carnera), he was a beast.
I give Schmelling massive credit for the performance against JL, but tbh mate only the top 10 of my list are really in any orderQuote:

I don't think there is any footage of him available m8.Quote:
