Deontay Wilder/Joe Louis/Earnie Shavers/Evander Holyfield, Alabama's best?

18 inch thighs...

 

Alabama's Don Steele. :deal

Went 41-0, 41KO's until he finally got his first defeat against 38-0 "Super" Brian Nielsen.

 

Mount Rushmore? :bart God no. They are not peers, they don't belong together.

Make it a grand pyramid. Pharaoh Joe in a sarcophagus in the center. High Priest Evander guarding the inner chamber a respectful distance away, with the mummified cats & slaves & virgins.

Earnie & Deontay posting up near the entrance, serving as mere statues with their spears crossed to intimidate trespassers much like the hieroglyphics on the movable wall behind them - with their bodies vandalized with graffiti in dozens of languages over the millennia, and their limestone mandibles long since eroded by the elements and crumbled to smithereens at their feet.

 

Then where does Don Steele go? :twisted:
Or do you see him as the personification of the mighty sungod Ra, hovering above them in his almighty presence?

 

Too bad Georgia has that beat with SRR, Ezzard Charles, Larry Holmes, and Vernon Forrest

And we have the GOAT referee Mills Lane

 

Both Louis and Robinson called Detroit home.

 

Holyfield calls Atlanta home. Doesn't change where he was from. Sorry.

 

Louis and Robinson got their boxing chops in Detroit and they called themselves Detroiters. Sorry.

 

Let Wilder accomplish great things first before he gets added to any tribute!

 

Probably going to regret this but isn't Sonny Liston from Alabama?

 

MVC, you agree that the south produces the best boxers in the US?
