[CutMeMick]

I see it like this:

1. Johnson
2. Joe
3. Rocky
4. Ezzard
5. Floyd
6. Jersey
7. Dempsey
8. Gene

[Mr140]

In that order or just naming them just to ask Cut because no numbers. Also thank you for your list i like the names that you have listed.

[Mr140]

Also i forgot about Patterson he was pretty good but i would not rate him above the others but he is close just not there. I think he had some bad luck because he got stuck with Liston and Ali so he can not be to blamed for losing to those guys is not bad.

In that order.

[Mr140]

Ok just checking and CC for the list i like to here peoples list and see different views.

[Mr140]

Also notice you did not include the colored belt champs is it because you have not seen enough or not know enough about them.

[Mr140]

I just say that because with out Tommy Burns Johnson i think would be in the same boat of Willies and Langford. Because Dempsey would not fight black fighters they were screwed and i do not blame Dempsey for it because it was a risk with not much reward for him. Also now that i think about it more i have to give Jack Sharky his credit. He did have alot of good wins i mean over Scemling and also Langford. But he got destroyed by Dempsey and then stayed around to long and got even more destroyed by the brown bomber. Also give credit to Scemling for beating Louis and also Sharky on the dq still a win and he should get his credit for it just some more name just below the list also i guess there is Gibbons and also the Baer Brothers as well.

[Mr140]

Also i think the Corbit and Sullivan were spouses to be great fighters but i do not think there is any footage of either one fighting. If any one can find actual footage of them fighting i will give you CCs for it but i do not think there is any fights on footage for either one of them.

[Mr140]

I actual found something on Corbett but not much of Sullivin only a old video but he is not fighting. So if you can actual find one of him fighting if i does exist i would love to see i and here what i found on Corbett there a bit hard to see but not that bad.

This is the fight with Bob Frtzsimmons when he knocked out Corbett another guy that i forgot to mention was a good Heavyweight also the first ever Middleweight to win a heavyweight belt so he is a pretty good pound for pound fighter as well forgot about him.

[ICB]

Nvm you changed the list.

[Mr140]

What changes were you going to make to the list Ice just to ask.

[DaxxKahn]

I see it like this:

1. Johnson
2. Joe
3. Rocky
4. Ezzard
5. Floyd
6. Jersey
7. Dempsey
8. Gene

I pretty much go with Micks list just a slightly different order

#1-Jack Johnson...CC For having Jack at #1 Mick People tend to forget what a great fighter he was...The guy could do it all

2. Louis
3.Dempsey
4.Marciano
5.Jersey Joe
6.Ezzard Charles
7.Gene Tunney
8.Max Baher
9.Max Schmeling
10.Jim Braddock

Floyd Came after Marciano and IMO after 1955 we are getting into a new era

[Mr140]

yea i just thought because Patterson was a champion in 1958 he should get some mention people i think forget about him because He was destroyed by Liston and then the left over were taken by Ali and he just toyed with him but he had some good wins as a champ in the late 50's also good in 60's.
