Re: Top 10 greatest heavyweights of all time!!!
Ali was a showman. We need one of this in every era to keep the fire of the sport
The problem is that Ali didn't go KO when he is hit and he got hit alot. I think it was much better for him to got punch drunk with 25 and quit boxing. Now he is spending half of his life like vegetable! When someone is boxing that way he must know the prise that he is going to pay and for magority of us it doesn't worth it!

Re: Top 10 greatest heavyweights of all time!!!
As this is suppose to be "Top 10 greatest heavyweights of all time!!!", why are you lot only covering the years from 1960 to present day?
What about fighters like Max Schmeling or Harry Wills. Should they not belong in the top ten list?

I guess you could argue for Sam Langford, John L Sullivan, Jack Johnson etc. The thing is, how much have you seen of any of these guys to be able to make a judgementOriginally Posted by Ghost

Re: Top 10 greatest heavyweights of all time!!!
ALI - robbed of his prime, would have fought Frazier as early as 1968, where would that have left Joe?
LOUIS - Obviously by his record was a dynamo.
JOHNSON- Was a star in an era when everything was against him.
HOLMES- Brilliant boxer, had some close calls (Norton) A great fighter!
DEMPSEY- He destroyed everything in his path until he met the skills of Tunney
FOREMAN- The first real monster of boxing, his destruction of Smokin Joe is quite possibly the most dominant performance in HW history against such a formidable foe.
FRAZIER- Joe just kept on coming, a lethal left hook, one of the best you will ever see.
MARCIANO- His record speaks for itself, whether he fought guys in their prime or not, he still went undefeated in 49 fights.
TYSON- For a short time there from 1986-1989 he was invincible, people were saying he was the greatest ever, i wasn't convinced, but he was awesome in that period.
TUNNEY- Just nudges out Ezzard Charles because of the Dempsey wins.

Re: Top 10 greatest heavyweights of all time!!!
I reckon there are probably 20 names that could get on the top 10 list, as I have said before ther are only a few that I reckon should defnitely be on the list
Ali, Louis, Holmes (for absolutely sure) Tyson & Foreman (almost certainly)
