Classic Forum Collective Top 10 All-Time Heavyweights--POLL CLOSED!

1 Louis
2 Ali
3 Lewis
4 Holmes
5 Foreman
6 Johnson
7 Dempsey
8 Frazier
9 Liston
10 Marciano

 

joe louis all the way back at # 6 is ridiculous, hes easy 1-2.

Dempsey over Marciano is highly questionable too unless ur list is based on h2h...marciano accomplished far more than jack

 

My heavyweight top ten of all time has changed hugely since I have been watching more fight tapes but today it looks like this:

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

Good thread by the way.

 

1 Muhammad Ali
2 Joe Louis
3 Rocky Marciano
4 Jack Johnson
5 Larry Holmes
6 Joe Frazier
7 Lennox Lewis
8 Sonny Liston
9 George Foreman
10 Evander Holyfield

 

Not bad list, welcome on ESB

 

I had to go back and edit mine because I argued with myself all the way home!

1. Joe Louis
2. Muhammad Ali
3. Rocky Marciano
4. Jack Johnson
5. Evander Holyfield
6. Jack Dempsey
7. George Foreman
8. Lennox Lewis
9. Larry Holmes
10. Joe Frazier

 

Cheers buddy!

I tried to do it on accomplishments and longevity. Which would seem like the fairest way.

If it was a prime Vs prime tournament, I would expect Ali, Jack Johnson and Tyson to come out on top as they are the most complete heavyweights I've seen footage of. Though I don't suppose many will agree with me on that

 

1. Muhammad Ali
2. Joe Louis
3. Jack Johnson
4. Rocky Marciano
5. Lennox Lewis
6. Mike Tyson
7. Larry Holmes
8. George Foreman
9. Jack Dempsey
10. Sonny Liston

 

I hate the fact i have come to rate Lewis above Tyson.

My daily Tyson rant through.

 

1. Joe Louis
2. Muhammad Ali
3. Jack Johnson
4. George Foreman
5. Rocky Marciano
6. Joe Frazier
7. Larry Holmes
8. Lennox Lewis
9. Sonny Liston
10. Jack Dempsey

 

i hate making list because i am constantly arguing with myself and changing them completely but for the fun of it ill give it a go......

1.ali
2.louis
3.marciano
4.lewis
5.johnson
6.holmes
7.liston
8.tyson
9.foreman
10. dempsey


also, i like the idea of scoring every ranking by a point like others have said instead of the 25 pts for first etc. but its your game so whatever works for you.

 

i hate the fact that i cant rate tyson at number one and still feel knowledgable about boxing so you and are in a similar boat

 

Seems we are in the same boat indeed, i think we should just be real drunken sailors and forget about our boxing knowledge. My new list.

1. Mike Tyson
blah
blah

"i love this guy " in a drunken slurred voice
