Why? Because he was.... Juicing? God, In an era with countless guys using.... In a time when there was only mock testing? Despicable, not like it has been happening since the 60s or anything.
It has a lot to do with his place in history.The first black man to be world heavyweight champion and all that entailed. I think he should get greater recognition
Larry Holmes for me. Even tho the fight for #3is constantly fought between him and Lennox Lewis. But for old times sake I'll say Old Larry.
Because of 11 consecutive title defenses (only Louis, Holmes and Wlad have more) in the era of a single HW champion, I thought someone would vote for Tommy Burns.
