    Cmon its not even a question

    Ali, Frazier and Foreman are 3 of the most well known boxers of our time and Norton beat a near to prime Ali so he aint that bad

    3 is the best, 2 is 2nd best at this time and 1 is TBD (some of them are not finished yet or are just starting)!! Wlad and/or Vitali could compete at a high level in any of the mentioned era's and beat many of them if not all!

    The only evidence we have to suggest that Vitali could compete in a better era of HW boxing, is his loss to Lennox Lewis. Wlad's jab wouldn't be enough to defeat Muhammad Ali or George Foreman, that is for sure.

    I would laugh if someone picked option 1 over the other two that were given, but it wouldn't surprise. It would be like someone taking Bea arthur to have sex with over Jessica Alba or Jessica Beil.

    I bet if the poll wasn't public quite a few people would have voted for Wlad and Co. :deal

    I go with 2, though I'd bet 3 is the answer. But, 3 was a little before my time, and I'll take 2 because it was the best group I'd personally gotten to see.

    During the time of Group 2, I can remember EVERY BODY knew who the MAN was and guys would talk boxing all the time. In school, on the foot ball, base ball fields, basket ball courts, any where!!

    Now a days, I think I'm the only boxing fan in my whole friggin' town....

    It's the same way around here, every guy in their 20's and 30's are into that MMA garbage it seems. If I walked into a random bar tomorrow and asked 10 guys who the Heavyweight champ is, I bet only 1 would give the right answer. ****, could you imagine if the same question was asked in the 70's or even the 90's? I bet most would know the right answer, it just sucks that the division aint what it used to be.:-(
