While this is certainly correct, LaStarza and Layne just don't have the ultimate stature to hang with Walcott or Moore as top-quality wins.
I have him relatively high at #5, on a list as following: 1. Ali 2. Louis 3. Foreman 4. Marciano 5. Frazier 6. Holmes 7. Dempsey 8....
Why don't you address the points that make up 85% of my post instead of picking the last sentence which was, in my own words, "for the note," and...
Marciano was not cut nearly badly enough to merit a stoppage in a heavyweight championship match- there would have been a riot, even in 2008. And...
Monzon, Hagler and Robinson all built their middleweight resumes largely off lighter guys moving up in weight as well. Middleweight is often kind...
