fucking bone-breaking bone-shattering power. that is power in its purest form. the guy just gyrates the power from his torso. it is fucking frightening.

as for certain unnamed numbskulls, this will not be an indication of how The Bomber would annihilate the clitoris 1 and 2.

Max Power's Heavyweight title championship Top 10 list

With Title wins and KO's listed.

Excluding BUMS and Cruiserweights and 2nd and 3rd tier champs!

1. Wladimir Klitschko - 17 (15 KOs)
2. Lennox Lewis - 15 (10 KOs)
3. Vitali Klitschko - 14 (11 KOs)
4. Larry Holmes - 13 (7 KOs)
5. Muhammad Ali - 13 (6 KOs)
6. Mike Tyson - 9 (8 KOs)
7. Evander Holyfield - 9 (3 KOs)
8. Joe Louis - 7 (4 KOs)
9. Nicolay Valuev - 6 (3 KOs)
10. Chris Byrd - 5 (1 KO)

This represents a fair comparison and even looks like it makes sense.

absolute dog shit ranking there. imagine a 32 year old nit wit ranking Chris Byrd and Nicolay Valuev ahead of Rocky Marciano, for just 1 example. Wladimir, Byrd and Valuev is just the proof of the pudding that you have absolutely no sense, no clue about this subject. YOu have the right to your own opinion, but so do I, and you have no clue.

[p4pking]

I'm just wondering how the hell he came up with 6 for Valuev

[powerpuncher]

if we are excluding bums then i say that wlad's record is 2-0 (1 KO). byrd is the only non bum that he has beaten and that is mainly because of styles.

[Max Power]

Byrd KOd Jimmy Thunder! A crude opponent but one that would knock Marciano out real fast. Marciano couldn't carry Byrd's jockstrap. Fact!

And Valuev! Ha. As IF Marciano could beat Valuev! Look at them!

Anyway this is not a h2h ranking, we can compare that another time. This is a record of HW title fights, an indication of "greatness" you might say. Of course cutting out all the old time nutbaggery to give a more accurate assessment!

Jimmy Thunder. For the fuck of fucks sake

[IamInuit]

Jimmy Thunder. For the fuck of fucks sake

Lol

[Master]

Max, Fenster proved to you that Lewis was a better champion that Wlad and yet you have him at the top.

You have also missed Haye who you rate higher than Louis.

[Beanz]

Jimmy Thunder. For the fuck of fucks sake

Lol

Ha! Double lol.

[Bo-Bo24]

I have great respect for Joe Louis too and think he is a great champion. He is still in the top 10 for title performance but as for "best HW record" not by a long shot.

Didn't you once say that Joe Lewis never fought a fighter as good as David Haye? And Muhammad Ali would only beat Mariusz Wach on points?

[Max Power]

Ok let's take a step back, this is not a "h2h" ranking necessarily. This is purely a record of their performance in title fights unpadded. The positioning is not representative necessarily of who was better than who per se.

i.e. Wladimir will edge Lennox out in most statistics because he does have a slightly higher KO ratio and he has half again as many fights, of course. I ranked purely by the numbers.

Jimmy Thunder. For the fuck of fucks sake

Lol

Ha! Double lol.

Ha! Ha! Triple lol.

attention MODS: Special Request please @Saddo

can we do a two-for-one swap where we get 2 new members from RabbitPunchBoxing.com and send Max Power over to them?

[Max Power]

Oh real funny!

The list is compiled purely by math by the system I outlined (records unpadded with sub200+ fighters, guys who have lost more than a quarter of their fights (=bum).

Can you think of a better system for fair comparison?

Because if you want to look at total records as you would want to to promote your favourites that's fine... BUT you must THEN also consider the CW division as part of the HW division when comparing the records of past warriors to present ones. It then becomes apparent that guys like David Haye have a very good record.


And you MUST delete bums because if you don't then Sonny Liston, LaMar Clarke and Eric Esch Butterbean are the GOAT's!
