What Era had the Most Talented HeavyWeights?

[TitoFan]

That top 10 reads like a Who's Who of boxing. Compare that list to the top 10 heavyweights at any time during Wlad's reign and I have a feeling the latter would fall considerably short.

And yet now, EVERYBODY seems to know who all of Wladimir's opponents are just as famously as those ones in that era.

Funny how time sorted that out, and that's DESPITE the fact many of them are foreigners!

I mean old veteran Thomson finishing Price and mounting a great fight against Pulev... Reminiscent of old Larry against Morrison and Holyfield not?

Who could lazy Tony Tucker have beaten from Wlad's top opponents? And this guy went the distance with Lennox Lewis?

Something isn't quite right with much of your analysis.

It is questionable whether Bowe could have beaten Pulev.

It is questionable whether Tyson could have beaten Povetkin.

It is questionable whether Lewis could have beaten Wladimir.

It is questionable whether Holyfield could have beaten Haye.

It is questionable whether Holmes could have beaten Thompson.

And so on.

BUMP!

So how does this era rate? @Master, man I totally forgot about the animated Max Power Took about a 1/2 minute and the memories rushed in, he was a character I'd take him over the current like Bush over Drumpf! That's bad man!

[Master]

That brings back memories!

I appreciate Wlad more now and do not think he would have waited to unify the title as AJ has. Although far older Povetkin is also rated as one of the very few that went the distance with Wlad, gave AJ trouble and knocking Whyte out cold.

I think of the 40s/50s:

Joe Louis, Jersey Joe Walcott, Ezzard Charles, Rex Layne, Roland La Starza, Rocky Marciano, Joey Maxim, Floyd Patterson, Ingemar Johansen, Sonny Liston
