Top Ten Heavyweight Champs of All-Time

[redbaron]

Tunney who lost to a great light heavy and nearly knocked out by an old Dempsey, being the greatest. You sure?

I assume you're talking about Harry Greb. He beat Greb multiple times after he lost to him by decision. Tunney dominated Dempsey other than the knockdown.

Tunney is an ATG imo, but he has no place on an all time heavyweight list. He fought at 175 pounds for all but the last handful of fights and only had 3 HW title fights. Carpentier, Grebb and Gibbons were not HWs either.

Do you think Tunney would beat Lennox Lewis?

..Marciano's record does speak for itself - it stinks!! It's full of nobodies with horrible win loss ratios and ancient legends that should've long past been retired!

I always say Tyson and then get laughed at, so I avoid all of these types of threads.

I also think that prime Fraiser is better than prime Ali (who is slightly overhyped) it was proven when they had their undefeated champ match. (yes I know Ali had been away, blah, blah, blah)

Foreman beats Lewis, probably the Klits too. That man could punch through walls.


A top list is impossible to do in reality, too subjective, especially in the days where fighters had more fights and lost to each other more. If A beats B, then C beats A, it doesn't mean he would beat B. (swap A,B,C for Fraiser, Ali and Foreman)

I do think he could have beaten Lennox Lewis.

It's measurable to saying B-Hop would beat Vitali Klitchko - crazy talk!

I don't think it's that crazy. Tunney kicked Dempsey's ass not once, but twice. Not only that, but he trained hard for every fight and was always well-prepared for his opponents. The same can't be said for Lennox Lewis.

Jack Dempsey was 190 pounds, Lewis was 240-250 pounds - see the point?

Try again my friend.

Big h you have a good argument for big george


P.s. Joe frasier (god rest his soul) is the most overrated fighter in boxing history at any weight by some distance

I will try again. I know that Gene Tunney would have beaten him.

Your taste in women is shocking but you know your boxing, well said.
