Although I am a big Marciano fan and dislike Mayweather, I have to agree with you here. Even though Mayweather has 10 fewer fights than Marciano,...
I'd say he's at least top 35, and probably top 25, at the present time. Some of this still needs to play out, mind you; even if Mayweather retired...
I'd say he outranks Hearns and De La Hoya at this point, and maybe Jones. Not Hagler or Whitaker, though.
This is impressive. Of course, you will find this sort of a statistic for a lot of guys who were star amateurs and Olympians, guys with extensive...
You sound more than a little ridiculous talking down to a guy who's in the top 10 in the world in his weight division, has been in the top three...
The top five all look reasonable. Scanning down the list, I'd say Vitali Klitschko is much too high (and he should not be ahead of his brother),...
Yes, "quality of opposition" seemed out of place on this list in the first place, but even moreso when it's quality faced and not quality beaten,...
Here's how I'd score these: Power: Tyson 9.5, Marciano 9.5, Dempsey 9, Frazier 8.5 Tale of the Tape: ( height, weight, and reach ) Tyson 5.5,...
For the note here, actually, three of Louis' defenses were against black opponents. His failure to fight Bivins is largely the result of his...
1. You're severely erring in counting little alphabet-soup titles as legitimate championships, here. Tyson only has 5 title defenses of a unified...
Looks like a 24-17 press-row edge for Charles. What's really interesting is how wide the variance here is; all the way from 11-3-1 Charles to 13-2...
Actually, Moore beat Johnson 4 times. And Bobo Olsen and Joey Maxim belong on this list. I don't see how Jack Chase outstrips them, for one. As...
Oh, great! Now my "Who ranks higher at heavyweight: Liston or Holyfield?" thread will look like a spin-off (dead serious, I've been planning to...
While I also rank Walcott higher, I have him very slightly so and don't think eight spaces is justified. This is a case where we can have a very,...
Um, again, as I quoted already, the account states that his friends had mentioned before the fight that his hand was hurt, and McVey's notes that...
