your first five are in exact same order as mine but im finding problems with it which contenders or hall of famers did sonny liston defeat to be an all time great, same goes for joe frazier, he beat ali and was good fighter but where is his resume? both resumes are thinner then tysons. jack dempsey usually makes these lists due to authenticity because he didnt beat any fighters of note either, i mean he had to put an iron bar in his gves to knock out jess willard and even then it ook him 6 knockdowns and fighters didnt even have to go to a neutral corner back then, so the vulenrable fighter was there for the taking. please explain this to me mate
are you seriously comparing the patterson who fought ali, the holyfield who fought lennox with the holmes that fough tyson!?!?! what a joke. look it up bruv...holmes was retired for 2 years before he fought mike and his 2 fights previous to that were losses.
A great thing about Holmes is that despite 20 title defenses, Wlad has actually already matched him in defenses against Ring Ranked top 5 opposition..a staggering 2! Certainly food for thought...yeah, I don't like Holmes. But the facts aren't biased.

It's a well known fact on ESB that if you jump weight classes you're automatically disqualified from being taken seriously as an opponent. Like Tommy Hearns. He's just a blown up welterweight.
Frazier and Demps are more like tied in at # 10 thru 12.... Tunney doesn't make the top-10.... NOPE! maybe top-15 on a good day.... Definitely top-20.... MR.BILL
frazier beat ali! twice really if you wanna reverse the result of the thrilla..... i just like dempseys style in all honesty...in and out the ring.
I need your help here K2 fans. This is one I don't understand. Why would Ross Greenberg who's job at HBO take the K2 brothers and pretty much the Heavyweight Division out of his programming if it was bad for his business. If the K2 brothers were as big as some here say they are they'd be so huge that HBO would be fighting Showtime to get them on. As far as this fight goes I'll be watching tommorow and hope that Wlad brings more to the table than his normal boring style. I also will be rooting against him in this fight even though I think he will win.
an utterly pointless comment then. throw ali in front of me now and i'll **** him up. does that make me an ATG? how quaint...what a fantastic insult from a cymotha exigua like yourself...
you're well outta your league here son. the point is that the names your cite aren't being held up by anyone as proof of anyones greatness... whereas you're throwing spinks name around and the fact tyson beat him like some sort of divine proof of mikes greatness. like i said - mug.
