    I don't rate Heavyweights at all duck egg. Are you too dense to understand that even though I have told you plenty of times. If I can name at least 10 fighters I rate above Heavyweights and that is without having to even think about it then it might just prove to someone with a brain ( exclude yourself here ) that I hold them in no esteem.

    I simply consider pre exile Ali by far and away the best of a very bad bunch.

    For instance I don't think there has ever been a Heavyweight fight, nor will there ever be a Heavyweight fight as good as the 3 between Barrera and Morales so there are 2 fighters who as far as I'm concerned sh it all over any Heavyweight who ever lived.

    Are you getting the picture now duck egg?

    I think that one of Louis' greatest strengths (his patience and fussiness in offense) is actually his greatest weakness against Ali.

    Louis never threw a punch he wasn't certain to land, and to be honest I think he would be setting himself up all night only for Ali to skitter away a nanosecond too early for Joe to throw anything really significant.

    Movers generally gave Joe trouble, and as great as that shuffling style was for throwing tight, controlled combinations with blinding speed and perfect balance, it was just awful for catching fleet-footed opponents.

    I have to go with Ali. Fast, lanky, tough as hell, tough-minded, great lateral movement..just a rock to Joe's scissors.

    I prefer Joe, my favourite heavyweight, but I guess I have to go with Ali.

    yes i get the picture

    with your own words you claimed that Ali was your top rated heavy, Lewis next and then Louis,,,,

    now you are trying to pretend you never said this because you realize i forced it out of you. You feel violated and want it covered up. Its no big deal Foxy, its just your opinion. Don't be mad at yourself just because you shared it to me.

    So next question, who do you rate as your number 4 and 5 top heavys of all time?

    What about Holyfield? I rate him pretty high myself :good

    To be fair when i say Tyson is top 5 i also can barely separate my top 5 through 10.

    What did you expect from that clown? A considered opinion? They say a broken clock is right twice a day, well that's twice more than poor termite.
