    I don’t agree with the entire list but there are parts of it that are reasonable

    Yeah Tunney? Like… what, he throws in random old timers for no reason sometimes for attention or perceived knowledge. The top 15 HW’s are roughly always the same names, none of which should be Gene lol.

    Yeah there’s a lot about that list I disagree with. Having Usyk over dudes like Holmes and Lewis . It’s mind boggling really given how much Atlas knows about boxing

    You need to compare some film buddy. Look at Conn Louis fights then look at Ali vs Terrell or Cleveland Williams. There’s no comparison. Not only does he have faster hands and feet he has big height and reach advantages plus 20+ lbs over even the heavier washed up Conn. Ali would tear Conn up. If you know their sizes watch those fights and can’t see how much better Ali is then doesn’t make sense to discuss it anymore.

    I didn’t say Conn would beat Ali, purely as a boxer, as in skill he makes Ali look bad, Ali vs Terrell? Seriously… ERNIE TERRELL and a shot (literally) Cleveland Williams are not better displays of ability then Conn vs Louis even if it was a losing effort lmfao.
