top hw but fighting, not legacy

Maybe.

 

Ali probably wins the most out of all of them

 

Ali and Lewis do the best here.

 

Do they get warm showers in female prison??

 

Ali and Lewis probably win the most, i say probably...Tyson would be up there too, in the end it would be pretty close.

How about no prep, no style analysis, off the cuff fights?:?

as you can see I did'nt list Dempsey because I would'nt favour him in any of these matchs, but I left him out on a some list because although I would'nt favour him I think stylistically he has a good chance of success in the fights against them maybe even win.

 

Lennox Lewis draws with Tommy Farr. Foreman struggles against Marvin Hart. Junk Yard Dog has the best chance to go undefeated

 

Marciano only beats 1 guy? I give him a shot at a few of the others like Holyfiled, Frazier or Holmes.

 

I only listed the names that I would favour him against, not pick em or 50/50 fights.

 

I think Dempsey Marciano could be a pick em fight.

 

We can never know who wouldx beat who.

Legacy is more of a "real world measure".

I will say this however.

If you give me virtualy any poster's top 20 heavyweight list, then I guarantee that their #20 would have a fair chance aginst their #1, baring a huge stylistic disadvantage e.g. Louis Patterson.

I also think that if you matched their #1 against the rest of the list, then even if you eliminated the efects of ring wear, the best they could hope for would be to beat perhaps 14 out of the 19.

 

I probably disagree with more than half of your picks, and my opinion is probably as valid and well thought out as yours.

That is why head to head is not a good measure.

 

Not for me I favour Marciano would of been a brutal fight though and tough night for The Rock.

 

ok good for you, post your list
