10 Most Accomplished of My Lifetime

[marbleheadmaui]

Don't expect a fast answer. I will have to give this some thought. The first fight I watched live was Ali/Chuvalo in 66 lol. In addition the hockey playoffs are on.

Damn. You're OLD!

Perhaps. Perhaps you were 20 when you watched Ali/Quarry lol which would make me quite young.

LOL, I'm 47.

I can't see how you can leave out Roy Jones jr and then there is Bob Foster who was Light Heavy king from 1968-1974 and only lost to Ali and Frazier in that time.

Outside of Charles and maybe Spinks I dont really see many having a shot.

I assume you mean against Jones. See I think a really good technician like say a Harold Johnson would use his craft to beat Jones handily. MAB gave us a great example when he beat Hamed what happens when good talent plus craft runs into great talent with technical flaws. I mean Hamed was faster, stronger, had better reflexes and got crushed.

The list of guys at 175 who'd give Jones real trouble I think is double digits.

What I wonder about with Jones is had he been born in 1922 and HAD to learn his craft to survive in the 1940's, how amazing could he have become? THAT is a scary proposition!

Both testicles for a time machine. Ok 1. Make it the left one. No right. Just cut one off.

Leaving Jones out was easy

He doesn't have a legit claim as Champion in any division and he left waaaaay too many guys unfought. Now was he an extraordinary combination of speed and power? You betcha!

I should be SHOT for not mentioning the Sherriff. [Cue Bob Marley]

Yup he could have fought Watson, Collins, Eubank, Benn. They could have also fought him in that 160/68 area. People seem to forget what a machine this man was at 160/168/ 175. Dariusz ducked Roy just as much as Roy ducked him. Jones was the man at 175 regardless of his collection of tin. He would have kicked the snot out of Dariusz.

Yeah and Tyson would have kicked the snot out of Douglas and Duran would have kicked the snot out of Laing and Chiquita would have buried Roland Pascua

You know and I know a fighter has either done it or he hasn't. Woulda coulda shoulda carries no weight.

I see your list and my compliments but remove the PAC for one reason, he's not done yet and for those that like the other guy, forget him for now because you can make all the comparisons in the world but the other guys are through and they can be judged by the fans. PAC or Floyd have plenty of time to prove greatness but the cards have to be dealt before they can play and they are still holding.
