Rate their resumes, i.e who beat the best opponents, taking into consideration not just the name of the person they beat, but also the stage at which they beat them, i.e Holmes does not get credit for beating Ali.Originally Posted by erics44

Re: Rate these heavyweights in terms of the opposition that they beat.
I think it's harsh what they say about the heavyweights now, yeah it isn't as good to watch but these guys are stronger, hit harder and have better technique than the guys in the other era's. Would Ali,Frazier, Marciano, etc beaten the Klitschko's, honestly I would rather watch the others fight but I think they would have struggled with the size. reach difference. Here is my order -
Muhammad Ali
Lennox Lewis
Wladimir Klitchko
Joe Frazier
George Foreman
Vital Klitchko
Mike Tyson
Larry Holmes
Sonny Liston
Jack Dempsey
Jack Johnson
Rocky Marciano
J Tandy

Haha you watched Foreman in his prime then, they throw more straight shots, they got better defence, not just hit and get hit back

Ali by a mile no 1, Marciano fought better fighters than Liston .
Re: Rate these heavyweights in terms of the opposition that they beat.
George Foreman is a brawler though, what about guys like Holmes, Ali, Holyfield, Tyson.

Re: Rate these heavyweights in terms of the opposition that they beat.
Ali hands down has the best resume. He beat Liston x2, Patterson x2 (well, OK, once was legit), Cooper, Williams, Folley, Norton x2 (highly-disputed), Frazier x2, Foreman, Lyle, Shavers, Quarry x2, etc. How can you trounce that?
Holyfield beat Qawi, Douglas, Tyson x2, Bowe, Moorer, Ruiz, Cooper, not too shabby.
Holmes beat Shavers x2, Cooney, Bonecrusher, Truth, Weaver, Witherspoon (?), Mercer, and made 20 title defenses successfully. How can you beat that?
