Who is the greatest HW Champ since Muhammad Ali (VIDEO)

The 2nd best boxer from Wladimir Klitschko's era was Wladimir Klitschko.

IMO from best to worst Lennox, Holmes, Vitali, Holyfield, Tyson, Wlad, Bowe

 

if i was ranking them philla makes a good list
people will say bowe should be higher.
bowe was a good fighter but he had the shortest prime of all of them basically the 3 holyfield fights and he was done.

 

Mike Tyson IMO.

 

Ooh, it's very hard to answer!

 

Bowe had **** footwork Tyson cut the ring off better and Mike had much better defense, so did Wlad.

 

Depending on what you like in a champion, either Lennox or Wlad. Lennox fought the best opponents during his run, Wlad had the longevity.

Tyson was the most electrifying and good for the sport however, so you could consider him on that basis as well.

 

My reaction on this in Rummy's main thread.

 

Wlad was by far the best of his era. Vitali didn't come close.

 

Then you don't understand what footwork is because Bowe was like Joe Louis in his movement. Short , compact , educated steps.. Always on balance.
Bowe never failed to cut off the ring vs anybody.
Hide ran and ran and ran , yet was repeatably cut off and dropped before being stopped in the 6th. Donald went on the back foot for all 12 and got shut completely out for all 12.

Wlad has no defense other than an illegal back breaker

1. holmes 2. lennox 3. holy 4. tyson 5. foreman

 

Lennox!!

 

Great video Rummy. Love the narrative over the top- very balanced and unbias.

My vote goes to Lennox Lewis. He has a good length of reign and he has those career defining wins, that Wladimir and Holmes do not have with their long reigns.

Lewis completely dominated Holyfield in both matches, although the second fight that he won was closer than the first.

 

It's got to be Shades of Ali Fury. lol

 

It´s matter of opinion really depending personal preferences. I think Vitali and Lennox are on the top if compared prime to prime. The resume and defining wins, it has to be Lennox. Wladimir had the longest reign and he was also very tough to beat at his best. Tyson was fun to watch but he is too short to compete against super heavies. Evander is a great champion but not as dominant and he got beaten by Lennox and Bowe.
