I have named 3.That is an amazing accomplishment, truly amazing and they were truly historic events.
I said Joe Louis was an amazing champion and I didn't want to criticise him at all. He had 25 consecutive defences you know.
Jersey Joe Walcott, Ezzard Charles, Max Scmeling rematch
Max Schmeling was a solid opponent but is nowhere near a top 10 HW. Walcott is a little outside 10. Maybe around 15 or so. Charles probably the same. Although Charles is known by many as the greatest LHW of all time. But Louis lost to him.
I don't think these numbers really mean much. Unless fighters dight each other we just don't know. Ruiz better than Joshua? If they had never fought we would probably say no. All just opinions and guesses really. One reason why prime Ali against prime Tyson is so fun. We can only imagine.
