Schmeling, Braddock, Baer, Dempsey, Tunney, Walcott=Top 15 ATGs

[brocktonblockbust]

There are no more than 9/10 HWs ranked above them 6 right there.

Then you got Sharkey, Willard, Carnera, Galento, Rex Layne, Kid Matthews, Nino Valdez, ALL IN THE TOP 25---there are no more than 18/19 HWs ranked above them 6 right there.

Those guys should have old newspapers wrapped under their tights because they were bums.

Braddock no question, he stunk on ice, he was a part time boxer, and managed to get the luckiest win in boxing history over Baer, who was probably exhausted from banging broads all night.

JJ WHIPPED bAER'S ASS THAT NIGHT. JJ had a huge park in my hometown named after him. 50 acres of beautiful woodland and a nice lake in the center: James J Braddock Park, North Bergen, New Jersey.

Braddock was a wily fighter, very nice footwork. Rank: #18 All Time Greatest Heavy

From best to worst I would go...

1. Tunney (even though he is a punk and a chicken for not fighting black fighters)
2. Dempsey
3. Baer
4. Schmeling
5. Walcott
6.
7.
8.
9.
10. Bradock

Braddock isn't in the class of those guys, he got lucky and was a club fighter at best.

Max Schmeling was the best human being of those guys, he was a true gentleman and hero.

[Max Power]

LOL

Surely you can't be serious! Some of them guys were never even champs!

They were not even HW's by todays standards.

Not a single one of them would survive a modern CW fight.

But I suppose, as @greynotsoold points out, you can only judge a fighter's greatness by the criteria of his era...

So going by that measuring stick, as an example.........

What the HELL is a full blown bum like James Braddock doing on ANY toplist, no matter what the criteria?

The fact that a guy like this can BECOME a champ is a PROOF of how poor a quality the era was.

I think if your gonna rank boxers on "greatness" the minimal criteria should atleast be that the boxer should not have a bum record.

Marciano went unbeaten in one of the weakest eras in history (because of the war), but atleast he had a clean record. Braddock has no excuse and no place on such a list.

[Beanflicker]

very nice footwork.

That he used well loading and unloading trucks.

Braddock may be a top 10 day labourer or long shoreman of all time.

[brocktonblockbust]

yeah but you wouldnt say it to his face

[Beanflicker]

yeah but you wouldnt say it to his face

Fuck yeah, I'd put my muay thai vs his crude boxing skills and I'm bigger than the motherfucker was

Not Max Baer though.

[Spicoli]

The booze runs strong in this one On the side can you picture Braddock reading about James Figg and falling out like Now that's a vision.

[Max Power]

yeah but you wouldnt say it to his face

Fuck yeah, I'd put my muay thai vs his crude boxing skills and I'm bigger than the motherfucker was

Not Max Baer though.

You probably have a better record against better opponents too lol

[Max Power]

Walcott...

Another famous border-line bum

[Primo Carnera]

I'm a bit disappointed my main man Primo doesn't rank higher!

[Master]

Walcott...

Another famous border-line bum

You know shit about boxing if you claim Walcott was a bum. You are a disgrace and should never be allowed on the internet again.
