Hard to say, there are some good ones mentioned and likely more to come Salvador Sanchez 1 Azumah Nelson 2 Wilfredo Gomez 3 Danny Lopez 4 Ruben Castillo
Ali: Liston Foreman Frazier (2x) Patterson Lewis: Tyson Holyfield (2x if he'd gotten the decision in their first fight instead of the laughable draw) Klitschko Take your pick Tua or Ruddock, (though I wouldn't argue with Golota) Underrated performance.
Ray Robinson is hard to overlook. Armstrong Gavilan Basilio Lamotta or Zivic All 5 are arguably top 100 ATGs
Duran and Hagler were far from their best when Leonard beat them. Hearns was supposedly weight drained. Good wins all the same and I suppose you can pick holes in most fighters best wins.
Harry Greb; Gene Tunney Maxie Rosenbloom Tommy Loughran Mickey Walker Jack Blackburn... Pretty hard to overlook this man
Lol Lewis win over Tyson is equivalent to Ali's win over Archie Moore. Holyfield was also old and way past it ... He should have never even been champion at that point in his career .... He was years removed from his prime and much battle worn by then. Klitschko won was due to cuts ... He then proceeded to duck Klitschko into retirement. Lewis was actually losing the fight and got a lucky win due to a bad cut. Tua was a solid win. Ruddock was finished after Tyson. Golota was a good win but Golota never reached elite status mostly due to his mentality when it came to boxing ...
Yes! Ali fought 3 prime monsters who each could crush 95% of all the other Heavyweight Champions on their best day. No one has run a gauntlet like that. And for 2 of them, Ali was old.
Guys, it's Sam Langford: Joe Gans Harry Wills Tiger Flowers Kid Norfolk Or Sam Langford: Sam McVey Stanley Ketchel Jeff Clark Elbows McFadden I think probably Sam Langford though. Who else are we naming that beat some of hte best lightweight of his generation AND some of the best heavyweights of his generation? It is absolutely ****ing crazy. The equivalent would be Teofimo Lopez knocking out Glowacki and Mchunu. He is unparalleled.
I hope this is a joke, but if it's not: Kovalev was shot Cotto was well past prime and definitly NOT his best weight He lost the first GGG fight clear as day Beat the *** out of Lara?? don't get me started on this one, Canelo barley touched him the whole fight.
Tefolio would need to crush both of them like whipped dogs to recreate what Langford did. Dogs. Whipped ones.
