A prime Patterson would be great in today's CW division. He went down more than any other HW champ (20 times I think)... but he also won 8 HW...
"The Smash" can't be denied either
Tua had a nice hook, Tyson as well. Mickey Ward's hook to the body was nice. Underrated hooks are Patterson's and Holyfield's.
tough to say, and some guys have been ignored but if I had to pick off of this list... Joe Frazier
Ali wouldn't have much to worry about in any of these fights. Ali has the right combination of size (height, reach, and weight), speed (hand and...
Ruiz is hard to watch. If you base his entire career off of the Jones fight... I could see why you think the way you do. I'm not a Ruiz fan...
maybe? Bruno stands 6'3", has a long reach, decent jab, and good power. His chin was not so great and he tired in the late rounds more than...
It's hard to say what Frazier "could" have done after the 3rd fight with Ali in '75. What he did do is lose to Foreman (LKOby5) in '76 and got...
I think Holmes wins decisions vs. all of them. All tough fights though. I think Bowe gives him just as much trouble as anybody on the list.
Holmes vs. Bowe Lewis W. Klitschko V. Klitschko A prime Holmes stands a strong 6'3" (I think he was just a tad over 6'3" but less than...
Max Baer's power is overrated IMO. Killing a guy in the ring doesn't make you an all-time great puncher. E. Griffith, E. Charles, R. Mancini,...
Holmes in all but none of the fights are easy. Foreman has his best chances in '77 and '92.
Holmes had already went 21-3 in HW World Title fights before his comeback in 1991. Many already considered him one of the top 5 HWs ever. He...
Holmes lost to Brian Nielsen LSD12 for Nielsen's IBO HW Title. I thought Holmes did enough to win. An overlooked fight is McCall W12 Holmes for...
110... but who cares about the IBO Champs? I missed Nicholson and Thunder. I also missed Lee Savold... none of these guys were legit World Champs...
