You know my point though.
    That's true, I don't think it's necessarily the size, it's the quality of today's modern athlete. A lot of those big guys back then were just bumbling oafs.

    LIston is definitely ranked in the Top 20 and Dempsey if not Top 10 HAS to be Top 11-13. I can see Frazier maybe in there sometimes but not all the time as his huge losses to Foreman really tarnish his image and his only real terrific fights were against Ali and Ellis.

    Foreman was a monster and style wise he would eat up a Frazier. Joe was a greater champion than George as he made more defences.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    How is Jack Demsey in the top ten when he ducked fighting black fighters his whole career. Holyfeild i rank above Tyson or Liston because he won back title and had better wins as well.
