This thread hurts my head. Anyway, it's had to rank Heavyweights in much different eras. The size difference is a big factor. An example is a guy...
The only fighters on this list I would even think about fighting for would be Jimmy Braddock and maybe Frank Bruno. I wouldn't argue too hard...
...close to even??? Ali (Clay at the time) dominated Liston (except for the short period when Ali 's vision was impaired). Liston didn't quit...
Frazier was definately in his prime in 1971. Not only was he in his prime, he was also well prepared and at his absolute best ever. Was Ali?...
Brutal fight. Bowe was the better boxer. He has to get his ass off the canvas to win this... but he does, late round stoppage by Bowe.
Interesting theory. I wouldn't say that Mayweather dominated. Maidana gave him plenty of trouble and the2 fight was close in my opinion. The only...

Liston was great but is also overrated and people tend to make excuses for his losses to Ali... those are my thoughts.
Bowe probably had the ability to stay away from Foreman and win a decision with a defense first mind set... but we all know that Bowe would not...
Foreman had won 24 fights in a row (23 by KO) prior to his epic battle with Holyfield. In his first fight in 10 years he beat Steve Zouski,...
70's was good, but I'll take the 90's. In the 90's I watched some good fights or at least some fights I'll never forget for various reasons......
Kessler vs. Froch (their first fight) could have went either way. Froch definately won the rematch.
Michalczewski by a close hard fought decision. A rematch would have to happen.
Machen? A past prime Eddie Machen clearly outboxed a 17-0-3 Jerry Quarry in July of 1966. I love how Quarry keeps getting better in retrospect....
Liston would have been a favorite in that tournament. Would have liked to have seen him batter Quarry. Probably would have stopped Patterson a 3rd...
