The Ipswich Express Top 100 Fighters of All Time List

Maybe Ippy could do up a Top 50/100 list of Best Punchers, Defensive Fighters etc etc.

Food for thought

 

We should do a vote on some top ten lists kind of like the guys in Classic forum do. Top ten at certain weights as well as top ten punchers, defensive etc.

 

Im quite interested in seeing the lists like the examples i suggested. Would love to see which fighters had what qualities but understand the amount of time it takes to formulate such

 

at that age both mike and george beats ali.

 

Whilst Mike was a beast, who up to Douglas was even remotely close to Ali?

 

Egg ****ing Zacly .

 

...based on my observations I think Tyson could easily handle anything Clay would bring at stated time.

 

Fair Enough, but hey I knew Storm were going to get beaten by the Warriors/Tigers in the GF Qualifier.

Things are just quite obvious sometimes without having to complicate the scenario with "who has he beaten to suggest such things etc etc"

 

Hey Tekester.... :happy

I reckon Tyson only looked that good because of his **** opposition.
Don't get me wrong, I liked Tyson, and I think he was pretty awesome, but I think Ali was much smarter and had a better skill set. His size would also have helped.

 

Just imagine Mike sucking on a prime Larry Holmes jab for 15 rounds he would retire after 9 I reckon . Holmes is one of the most under rated heavyweights of all time IMO . Then we go to guys like Joe Louis and place Tyson in that first golden era how would he have stood up to the likes of Maxi Baer etc ? EVERY FIGHT would have been a 15 round war , would Mike have been up to the task ? He would have been there or there abouts but one thing is for sure that is he wouldn't have been blowing those blokes out like he was doing to Mr Pink etc in the 80,s .
