    It's hardly a great secret. I keep forgetting to log out of that account on my phone. My avatar is a manbearpig with a false moustache glasses disguise ffs, so congrats Columbo, you solved the mystery.

    If I had to make a critcism, I'd say Lennox Lewis is a little too high.

    I'd beat a prime Jack Dempsey like he stole something! Liston beat one fighter in HW title fights. John L.? Really? No Mike Tyson?

    I don't even rate Tyson any higher than between 7th and 9th and he was everything grandpops wishes Dempsey was.

    It's not about being the prettiest; watching film gives all the evidence we need as observers. The point he was making was that Ali ranks ahead of Dempsey on just about every criteria necessary for putting together these top 10 lists that the only saving grace Dempsey has is if he's remarkable on film, suggesting that his h2h ability would be the only reasonable claim to rank him ahead of Ali. And Ali, on film, looks far more effective against a wider range of styles and against far better competition.


    Johnson is a spoiler, he's far more effective than most people give him credit, not to mention that he has incredible stamina, and is a master at feinting. He's an old school fighter that you can take and plug into any era and he's earn a title shot and depending on the era, upset the champion.

    My List:

    1. Joe Louis
    2. Muhammad Ali
    3. Jack Johnson
    4. Larry Holmes
    5. Rocky Marciano
    6. Mike Tyson
    7. Lennox Lewis
    8. George Foreman
    9. Evander Holyfield
    10. Joe Frazier

    Quality.

    Agree completely. I find Senor Pepe' very entertaining and I'm genuinely not a fan of Ali but he's no worse than #2.
