I don't care how good Toney was, Cooney would be way too big for him and would smash him down.
Earnie Shavers beat Ali in my opinion, and essentially knocked Ron Lyle out despite the ref saying otherwise. He also knocked Young out in three...
When Pinklon Thomas lost to Trevor Berbick, the wind left my sails. I had expected great things for Pink.
Shavers was the first to come to my mind. Frank Fletcher had a good following at one point.
I agree with Heizenberg. Golota was more skillful and would start out well, but Ray's chin would discourage him and Mercer would catch up to him...
Lousy list in my opinion. Are they going head to head or on accomplishments? To me, this list is too heavily slanted towards the old-timers....
I agree with the Bowe votes.
It's really close, but Holmes' longevity edges it for me.
I tend to favor Haugen, too. He would gain momentum as the fight wore on, while Davis would fade. Haugen would probably take a decision.
Yes, a hell of a fight. I tend to consider Shavers to be a true contender, and Cooper just a journeyman who didn't really belong at heavyweight....
Prime against prime, who would win this?
Also, the deal with the Toronto Five is that George promised to KO all five. It was a way more serious undertaking than Ali's boring, slap-happy,...
Jimmy did great against big, ponderous punchers. How would he do with the fast, free-swinging Morrison?
Ali was a disrespectful douche bag. He had no intention of giving George a rematch ever, but decided to show up in Toronto and just taunt him for...
GoldenHulk, I salute you. Norton was the best heavyweight out there, in the post-Foreman/pre-Holmes era, and he would've beaten Ali or Spinks....
