Teddy Atlas's 10 Greatest Heavyweights of All Time.

done. I edited on the first page as well.

Here is Teddy's list:

1. Joe Louis
2. Muhammad Ali
3. Jack Johnson
4. Rocky Marciano
5. George Foreman
6. Open spot - he is implying he will give it to Usyk once Usyk retires but he is leaving it open.

7. Gene Tunney
8. Jack Dempsey
9. Larry Holmes
10. Lennox Lewis

 

Usyk over Holyfield is crazy work

 

It would be an abomination if he is leaving a spot open for Usyk, overrated not even near atg status, Patterson, Tyson, Frazier, Holyfield all deserve a spot before Usyk

I would put Bowe on a list long before Usyk

 

Tyson, Frazier, Holyfield - i agree rate above Usyk at heavyweight.

Don't think Bowe is ahead of him. Bowe has 2 stand out wins at heavyweight. Yes, his wins over Holyfield were amazing but that is it.

Bowe did not fight the biggest punchers of his era- he somehow missed Ruddock, Mercer, Morrison, Lewis, pretty much anyone who possessed a big punch.

Usyk has 2 wins over Joshua, 2 over Fury and one over Dubois. Take those 5 wins and there is more depth there. None of those wins individually are as good as beating Holyfield but collectively, they are ahead of Bowe.

Usyk hasn't thrown his belt in the trash either.

 

Only Teddy can turn a vid that should be 10 - 15 mins at the most into a 50 minute blathering marathon.

 

1- Ali
2- Louis
3- Holmes
4- Lewis
5- Johnson
6- Foreman
7- Marciano
8- Holyfield
9- Tyson
10- Liston

 

I love Teddy but these commingled H2H vs for their time needs to be defined .. two completely different ways to rate ..

 

No Mike.

 

Having Lewis at 10 is near undefendable imo.

Ali
Louis
Holmes
Holyfield
Lewis
Foreman

Foreman and Lewis are switched according to my mood

LOVE George

 

To be fair this is the Usyk era, yeah Holyfield may of fight the bigger names like Tyson and Lewis, but it was really Lewis's era imo. I have no issue with Usyk over Holyfield.
