Wilbur's Top 20 Greatest HW Of All Time

Jack Johnson was unbeaten for about a decade at his prime, and beat several of the top fighters of the era.
That must count as achievement.

 

Not a fan of the list but to each their own

 

He has wins over
Frank Childs, George Gardner, Denver Ed Martin, Sam McVea, Sandy Ferguson, Joe Butler, Joe Jeannette, Sam Langford, old Bob Fitzsimmons, Fireman Jim Flynn.

Tommy Burns beat Marvin Hart, Fireman Jim Flynn, Philadelphia Jack O'Brien, and a bunch of guys from other countries like Bill Squires, Gunner Moir, and Bill Lang.

Johnson and Burns clearly cleaned out the division between them, then Johnson emphatically beat Burns, and then beat the old champion (Jeffries) when he came out of retirement.

He clearly cleaned out the division.

 

It does just it just dose not put him over some who this fella has him ranked over.

 

Context dismisses the best of these wins.

He did clear out the division but this isn't that special of a roster and is among the weakest on the list.

He was great no doubt but not better then some of the guys he is put over here.

 

I like my list better:

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
11. Wladimir Klitschko
12. Jack Dempsey
13. Sonny Liston
14. Jim Jeffries
15. Harry Wills
16. Ezzard Charles
17. Sam Langford
18. Riddick Bowe
19. Floyd Patterson
20. Vitaly Klitschko

 

Not a bad list, different strokes for different folks.

 

It's a pretty horrible list IMO.

 

How can people keep underrating Max Schmeling to such a degree??
