your three favourite heavyweight boxers of all time ans why.

Ali - greatest hwt of my lifetime. At his best no one was quicker. Great punch anticipation, threw textbook combinations, best jab, durable, iron chinned, tremendous will to win, unlimited stamina. Not just a fancy Dan boxer....a fighter.

Louis - most highly skilled hwt I've ever seen. Best combination puncher, one of boxings hardest punchers, great textbook defense. Puts most all other hwts to shame in terms of overall boxing skill.

Dempsey - a true killer in the ring...no playing like he was tough like others...greatest swarming puncher ever to live, great combination of boxing and punching skills. A cross between Louis and Marciano is how I see Dempsey.

 

Welcome back MF.

 

Mike Tyson

Vitali Klitschko


and soon to be Deontay Wilder

 

Joe Louis. Perfect technique with every punch, powerful, had heart and determination, fast hands, you name it.

Jack Johnson. The ultimate **** you fighter. Married white women when looking at one as a black man could get you lynched. Talk about balls!

Evander Holyfield. For fighting much bigger men and giving them hell. For destroying Tyson mentally and physically.

 

Joe Louis. From his stance and footwork up he was set for throwing the best combinations of any of the heavy champs. Precise fast hands with ko power in both to the head and body. The greatest.

Ali. Athletcially he had abilities none of the others could touch. The fastest feet, the best jaw, smart, great endurance.

Foreman. I've never seen more awesome displays of power and right punching then the prime George of the Norton and Frazier bouts. Later tinkering with his stance and footwork by Clancey, etc. set him back, but at his best something else.

 

Joe Frazier...as pure a warrior I've ever seen. Also a gentleman. Mercante called him "as clean a fighter, especially given his style" as he ever saw. That left hook, my favorite punch.

Floyd Patterson....another gentleman. Loved his probing, on the toes, peek a boo style. The leaping left hook. Look at the Cooper fight for the way to put away your man properly, something Ali couldn't do in two tries.

Jerry Quarry....extremely game, skillful guy that just came along at the wrong time. His first round with Frazier the first go round one of the greatest in heavyweight history.

May they all R.I.P.

 

Joe Louis power combo puncher and destroyer of all styles and sizes

Rocky Marciano Great condition,power,stamina,heart,recuperative power,will

Ali/Dempsey Stars in there day= electric power

 

Ali - His movement, his range of punches and the classic fights he was involved in
Tyson - So brutal in his prime, one of very few boxers that defeated their opposition before he even entered the ring
Lewis - Very good skills for a big man and was a good champion

 

A good post, well said sir!

 

How the hell does Tyson not have heart? When he was KD'd, no matter in how bad of shape, he always tried his damnedest to get up. Well, let's throw out his last fight. But I'm thinking of him crawling on the mat versus Douglas, putting his own mouthpiece back in, trying to do anything to get back up. Or standing in there trading bombs with a puncher like Ruddock. Going out on his shield versus Lewis. He had tons of heart.

 

Joe Goddard - I love me an Aussie drunk who can punch. And punch he could. Gave Peter Jackson all he could handle and more. Didn't give a lick for training or so called "ring science". Took out Maher, Choynski and Denver Ed Smith. Legendary.

Tony Tubbs - Probably the most talented specimen to ever step between the ropes in the Titanic class. So slick a fly landed on his shoulder, slipped off and broke its neck. Robbed against Tyson, Thunder and Zolkin. Every negative result on his ledger has a back story. The argument can be made that he was undefeated. Legendary.

William "The Prussian" Sheriff. Legendary. Stout and taciturn. Allegedly the strongest man in sport before or since. Possessed of the speed and dexterity of a ballerina. There exist dozens of documented but not "official" fights. Don't trust boxrec on this one. Do your research.

 

Ali- heart of a champion
Holyfield- heart of a champion
Foreman- a distant third but I like his power

 

The three Joes-

Frazier- Well he is the epitome of Philadelphia, so not much creativity in this pick.

Louis- I am not a big fan of the HW division, but could watch the brilliance of Louis over and over again.

Walcott- Just love his craftiness.

 

stupid,infantile and ******ed thread from you like always, of course.
and your points are silly just like you.
get out of here simpleton, you don´t know a word about boxing, you just talk 4 nonsenses about marciano,frazier,tyson and ali because you don´t know another thing about another era or different weight classes.
