    True but he put him down and was apparently diagnosed hepatitis afterwards which also apperantly explains why he punched himself out so quickly after the knockdown!

    1- Tyson
    2- Ali
    3- Louis
    4- Frasier
    5- Marciano
    6- Foreman
    7- Holmes
    8- Lewis
    9- Holyfield
    10- Klitschko (I think Vitali at his best was better than Wlad)

    I can only really do from the 1940 ish onwards as I just can't judge before that. Other than stats and the odd highlight, I just don't know enough about people like Jack Johnson.

    I've based it not on records, but on absolute prime and how they would have faired when at their very best. E.g- Holyfield beat Tyson twice, but still wasn't better than him on his best day.

    Many will probably disagree with a few, but I think that on his best day, Tyson would murder anyone. As much as I dislike him, a Vitali on his very best day would have been tough for any of the greats.

    Well i obviously disagree with guys like Frazier, Tyson, but in truth Rocky Marciano wouldn't beat any of those fighters at there best, he's simply too small.

    Marciano wa sprobably the only one who swayed me to put him in there on merit. I've seen less of his fights than anyone elses.

    Thumbs up Re: Top Ten Heavyweight Champs of All-Time

    ELkabong I agree with everyone except Riddick Bowe who should stay right where he is but if Sonny wasn't in Jail and punching out cops he might have had the title sooner. Sonny never saw a jail he didn't like. Nice thread keep them coming.

    I don't think Tyson is quite up there as his reign of terror wasn't all that long 1985-90. Plus I think Holyfield is really tarnishing his image as he stays on and on and on.

    Hard to argue too much with your first nine...while there would be some debate, no one would fault you for listing those nine.

    Bowe, however, doesn't even make the top twenty -- IMHO. Off the top of my head, people who definitely belong over Bowe include Gene Tunney (who is one of only three heavies, I think, to beat everyone he faced -- Marciano and Lennox Lewis were the others), Vitali Klitschko and probably Wladimir Klitschko -- assuming he doesn't lose any more fights by the end of his career. The Klitschko bros. are the Larry Holmes of their day. They won't garner the respect they deserve until they retire.

    Just my opinion, take it or leave it. Fun stuff.

    The iron was the greatest heavy weight if not for those ear biting he made.

    Having Henry Cooper at number 5 in the all time greatest heavyweights, negates anything else you say from now on
