    I aint mocking his skills but i hate it when fans put old retired fighters on a throne and totally over rate them

    floyd would give suger a hell of a fight at 147 and could prob beat him

    Mythical Hercules will come from the ashes and destroy the HW that's for sure


    It is very hard to compare many different eras

    Any number of Heavyweight legends would clean out todays division - Ali, Holmes, Lewis, Louis, Frazier, Foreman etc.

    I doubt Holyfield would have too much trouble dominating Cruiserweight.

    LH - Ezzard Charles
    SMW - Roy Jones Jnr
    MW - Hagler and Monzon
    LMW - Tommy Hearns
    WW - Ray Robinson, Ray Leonard, Tommy Hearns etc
    LWW - Aaron Pryor
    LW - Duran and Whitaker
    SFW - Alexis Arguello
    FW - Sal Sanchez and Willie Pep
    SBW - Wilfredo Gomez
    BW - Eder Jofre
    Fly - Jimmy Wilde
    STW - Ricardo Lopez

    nah but seriously..Tyson in his prime would dominate the HW.....

    i wonder how Rocky Marciano would do in the HW division right now......i mean obviously i never watched him fight live but ive seen a whole lot of video on him. one of the trainers at my gym is this old guy that loves to talk about Marciano.
