Top 10 ATG HWs --- °•°•°final list°•°•°©®

[mikeeod]

My list:
1. Ali
2. Joe Louis
3. Evander Holyfield
4. Lennox Lewis
5. George Foreman
6. Joe Frazier
7. Rocky Marciano
8. Larry Holmes
9. Sonny Liston
10. Wlad Klitschko

Left off old timers like Dempsey, Jack Johnson, Jim Jeffries...etc., since it was a different sport back then. Picked Wlad for #10 over Tyson due to his consistency and longevity at the top. Mike did win the title at a young age but his biggest wins were against a washed up Holmes and terrified Spinks.

[Lineal]

Something like this:

Muhammad Ali
Joe Louis
Jack Johnson
Larry Holmes
Rocky Marciano
George Foreman
Jersey Joe Walcott
Ezzard Charles
Joe Frazier
Evander Holyfield.

How's Joe Louis NOT #1 He has the most consecutive successful title defenses as heavyweight champion, he lost 3 years of his career to World War II, he beat anyone and everyone in his era.

Rocky Marciano, didn't have the greatest era to fight in, BUT he made up for that by winning every single fight as a professional.

There's no way at all that those two fighters should not be #1 & #2 all-time

[Bill Paxtom]

Just 'who' had the most controversial bouts.

Well, none other than Mr. Clay.

* Alonzo Johnson
* Doug Jones
* Henry Cooper I
* Sonny Liston I
* Sonny Liston II
* Ken Norton II
* Joe Frazier II
* Ron Lyle
* Ken Norton III
* Jimmy Young
* Earnie Shavers

Too much 'stinkeroo' there to put that man in the Top 7.

But yes, he was the 'best' showman and entertainer, for a period in time.

[Beanflicker]

Joe Louis whipped a lot of bums and sissies... and some fat men hahah!

Lahhh Home would have beat his ass, so would Tyson, Ali, Lennox, Marciano, Liston, Foreman, and I could go on and on.

[Beanflicker]

BUT he made up for that by winning every single fight as a professional.

Well maybe it's time to re-evaluate the greatness of Sven Ottke and where he should rank it the top P4P ATG list.

Not comparing Rocky to Sven "The Gay" Ottke but goddamn I think there's a lot more to being great than how many fights you won.

Marciano fought a 37 year old Joe Louis.......... 37, really? Is that so old? Klits are fighting at 41, 42
Foreman fought til 49, Hopkins 51, Briggs is 46 still fighting, Holyfield was 49, even Mike Tyson was 39 when he fought that big Irish guy in his last fight. How is 37 so ANCIENT?

Marciano fought an "old" Louis who was 37---- not exactly a senior citizen was he. 37.

Rocky fought a 32 year old prime Ezzard Charles, they weighed the same too. Beat him twice. Charles is sometimes ranked in the top 10 or 12 ATG heavyweights even though he was a light heavy.

Rocky fought a 38 year old JJ Wlacott, OK that is getting pretty old, but JJ had Rocky down and out in the 1st round, pounded his lil' ass from pillar to post LITERALLY (WATCH ROUND 1, Rocky shouldve been DEAD after that round).

Archie Moore fought 11 more years after fighting Rocky and retained his LH Crown for years and years to come. Not exactly washed up I'd say..... he blossomed late as a fighter.

Roland LaStarza severely underrated HW fighter, tough as nails, great boxer, great record. Marciano beat hiom twice altho once was questionable on points. (Rock got the nod bcuz he had floored Roland in the fight and them was the rules at the time)

And Don Cockell was no tub of flab, what a chin on that guy, best chin I ever seen, seriously. He took bombs on the chin and didnt even wobble, the announcer was like WHAT THE FUCK IS KEEPING DON COCKELL ON HIS FEET, I WILL NEVER FUCKING KNOW!!!

etc.... and if you think Rex Layne and Harry Kid Matthews were pushovers or slouches, BWAHAHAHA
those were tough sons of bitches those 2 who coulda competed well in any HW era.
