I rate Joe higher in an all time great heavy list but head to head Tyson wins a fight between them. A slow starting Frazier gets stopped by a...
I've always rated him. If he'd had more discipline and focus,we'd be talking about the Fab 5 of the 80s instead of Fab 4.
Oh yes! I've always had Joe as the third best heavy of the 70s with Muhammad and George one and two,respectively. Joe,at his best,was a tank...
Benitez was having one of his best ever nights. Duran always had problems with 'movers' Nonetheless,if this match up had come about at 140lbs...
Liston takes it on a fairly wide points verdict. LIke most,he can outbox but not stop the rock hard Bonavena. Sonny tires signifigantly...
Angelo said that it was because he was Ellis' manager as well as trainer. He had Muhammad's blessing,apparently.
Good post. I agree totally. Dundee had Ali's interests at heart but could n't bring himself to walk away.
I like your list but I'd have John Conteh in place of Joe Calzaghe at Lt.Heavy. Joe's optimum weight was at 168lbs. He's certainly the best Brit...
Agreed.
I'd definitely have him down as ONE of the greatest fighters of all time. A very good heavyweight and a great light-heavy. Pity he never held...
Precisely how I see it. Muhammad's pride would see him through to a messy yet convincing decision in a second bout.
I rate both men as all time greats. Larry higher than Lennox,though,for reasons already stated by other posters.
1) Lennox Lewis 2) Tyson Fury 3) Bob Fitzimmons 4) Anthony Joshua 5) Joe Bugner I'm rock steady on numbers 1 & 2 but constantly changing 3 - 5.
I like this scenario.
Fury wins a very close decision. He'd know he'd been in a fight,though. If it were the Ali of just one year earlier in Zaire,I'd say Muhammad...
