:lol: I was just being conservative. Freddie Dawson > Ken Norton.
It's the best heavyweight record of course, but there are lighter weights who **** all over it. Therefore, if we are discounting historical...
Ali has a great record, but I wouldn't call it astonishing. A fighter like George Chuvalo wasn't really any better than Virgil Akins, infact Akins...
Billy Backus was basically a white Hearns and look what happened to him. Alright, he beat Napoles on cuts the first time but it was a fluke.

I was going to take the **** but you do have a point. I thought he was 6ft 2in for a while until everywhere changed it to 5ft 11 1/2in a couple of...
Usually it's Ray Robinson with Henry Armstrong in second place, although I'm fully aware of Harry Greb, who even I rate in second place. As of...
I thought that. I'd rather have fought fifty elite fighters than fight ten of them five times each.
