Head-to-Head — Top 5/10 Heavyweights?

Your level headedness might be more persuasive to the forum if you posted your reasoning, evidence, and arguments for your positions more often.

 

The only fighter at heavyweight who's style and physical
attributes that would
give him an advantage over every other heavy would
be Ali in his prime. His combination of speed, endurance,
skills, size and mental toughness are his keys.
His most difficult opponents would be Tyson and Frazier,
and he beat one of them twice.
So Ali would be my number one choice.
The rest are.
Holmes
Lewis
Foreman
Liston
Tyson
Frazier
Holyfield
Louis
Bowe.

 

I don't remember either happening...

 

Yes you were, literally wrong. You supported opinion that Langford fought in bareknuckle stance and he didn't.

 

Frazier has a good chance against all ATGs barring Liston and Foreman so he belongs on the list.

 

I think he gets murdered by Tyson and Lewis.

 

The Fantastic Five, i'd expect nothing less from you. With Liston and Louis next or thereabouts we'd have one helluva bunch.

 

All of the above. But I have to throw Holy in the mix.

 

Marciano is the toughest and mosg determinated, he knocked bigger guys out as Louis, Walcott and Ali.

Johnson is master is tactic and has the highest IQ; he take Hopkins and Toney to school.

Tunney is the smartest and slickest, his defence is brilliant. Lewis and Tyson are mentally not strong enough and were too slow, also had many whole.

But I forgot Ruslan and Juan Carlos, which could win against many of the older ones, also "The Sniper" who would destroy Fury, Joshua and Wilder in one night.

 

1. Muhammad Ali
2.Lennox Lewis
3.Sonny Liston
4.Mike Tyson(86*)
5.Joe Louis

 

My picks for the ten best h2h in chronological order

Joe Louis
Sonny Liston
Muhammad Ali
Joe Frazier
George Foreman
Larry Holmes
Mike Tyson
Lennox Lewis
Riddick Bowe
Wladimir Kiltschko

 

Noticing a lot of new posters.

 

Barring a freak punch Lewis has a good chance of beating everyone while Tyson also loses to Liston and Foreman.

 

Tyson I'd favor over Frazier, Lewis? he never had anyone who'd be in his grill like Frazier and if he did drop Joe he ain't keeping him on the mat. In a 15 round fight Frazier gets stronger and Lewis wilts late.
