Moore would have won in his prime. Eventually KOs him. If Moore could survive Satterfield and Sheppard I’m guessing he could survive Shavers.
Said it on the other thread but I’ll repeat here. You’re severely underrating Lyle for one. Lyle wasn’t an easy fight to take. Lyles best win also...
Holmes didn’t beat anyone as good as Moore or Walcott his whole reign. Era couldn’t have been that bad.
Interesting post. I’d bet on Liston in all of them. But that’s not to say Larry or George couldn’t pull put a W…I’d just edge it to Liston if I...
It was a strange time. Took Archie Moore pushing in the media for a shot for a long time till they actually rated him. They only rated him...
I think if Marciano knew his legacy would have taken a minor hit 70 years later because he didn’t fight enough 6”2 6”3 guys he would have whooped...
Lol I’ll take Johnson over both but I understand the argument for them. It was painful to leave off Tommy Loughran as well. 3-7 is all very close
Good lord…not everything is Marciano related mate lol. We are referring to Holmes. Plenty of Marciano threads. Growing up Holmes wasn’t considered...
Ron Lyle has one of the best HW resumes of a contender to not win it ever. He was no joke. Ali reigned for a few more years beating excellent...
People like to give all the credit to Ali’s style v Foremans style. Ali’s chin was the more important factor. Greates chin of all time imo only...
He gets over rated here for sure. I don’t think he falls in top five and borderline not top ten. Mainly his competition wasn’t good but he also...
1) Ezzars Charles 2) Archie Moore 3) Gene Tunney 4) Harold Johnson 5) Michael Spinks
Larry at 3…such revisionist history.
Agree. Fun fight for a short amount of time
Louis. I know many may not respect the people he fought but he faced a lot of contenders/champs and beat them.
