    Muhammad Ali
    Lennox Lewis
    Wladimir Klitchko
    Joe Frazier
    George Foreman
    Vital Klitchko
    Mike Tyson
    Larry Holmes
    Sonny Liston
    Jack Dempsey
    Jack Johnson
    Rocky Marciano
    Klitschko's have better technique ? wash your mouth out with soap thats blasphemy.

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

    George Foreman is a brawler though, what about guys like Holmes, Ali, Holyfield, Tyson.

    I left Vitali out and Foreman, amazing but that was due to competition and successful fights.
