    While I don't agree with your list, I agree with you on Puritty, Douglas, McCall and McCline. These guys never got any hype like others but they were no one hit wonders and their records show this.

    Why Purrity? He has one win real stellar win on his resume, and it was after getting his ass kicked for most of the fight. To me hes like the top of the journeyman, but definitely not a top 15 heavyweight. There are so many more that would rank ahead of him.

    I really don't understand how you have Foreman above Ali. I've called you on your bull**** lists before, and you said your criteria was head to head ability and resume. Ali has a far superior cv, and he also beat a prime George Foreman. You are a troll.

    He is not I my list but I recognize that the guy was a tough fighter and underrated The only man to stop him was Vitali and that was on a cut, he was never knocked down despite fighting hard hitters like Wlad, Vitali, Sanders, Rahman and Morrison.

    How does Jimmy Bivins rate? He was more of a light heavy but he has a solid record at heavyweight as well.

    He turned 90 last year.

    wow that's a bull**** list sorry to say. there's no way you can rate the klits over Ali or holmes. H2H, they beat both klits, career wise, they beat them, and resume wise.
