I think he was a vastly bigger puncher than Ali though. If Ali is to stop Joshua it would likely come from accumulation/a lot of punches.
I usually don't chime in to heavy on these strength of era discussions but what's generally thought of as the 3rd best? 70s and 90s are usually...
Topic completely gone off course again ;)
Even more impressive considering how taxing his style is as well.
Ali is the most popular boxer of all time so it usually finds it's way back to him in one way or another.
Great call.
Larry Holmes did 29 years. Not a record I know but comes to mind.
Despite the media trying to bill Wlad as 6'6-6'7 he always has claimed to be 6'5 over the years.
At the time there was a 3 way debate to who was really the best in the world between AJ/Fury/Wilder. Not saying this was right or wrong but still.
Lol
I don't know about take over but achieve a lot more yes the evidence seems to show that.
I was actually watching Vitali yesterday
Mayweather beat Castillo IMO.
I am assuming the title is just heavyweights even though it doesn't clarify.
No I just found it a interesting take that's all.
