I'm half-joking with the post above. George has a shot, but I know if this fight really happened, in, say, a unification scenario after George...
You can't get much worse than Leon Spinks either. Like Ken Norton said when asked to rate the top 10 heavies in 1978- after he'd dethroned Ali...
If ratings were done on 'best win', we may as well throw Douglas in the all-time Top 10, Turpin in the middleweight top 10 and Honeyghan in/near...
Moorer was lineal champ to be fair...but as He Grant states, a case of "an alphabet salad down", as he's not getting a shot ahead of Lewis in any...

Maybe next time score it on an old Motorola phone with a cracked screen, that once belonged to your Auntie Joan, when you're suffering from a bout...
No, you’ll type some words, that’s all. Enjoy spending the next 20 hours on Google. :D
No era gets called 'the best' as it's happening though. You think they didn't say the same when Spinks fought Qawi? They didn't- and this was at...
Spoon for me. But some solid arguments for Trevor here, which were a good read.
Same here. I did have Bivol a point ahead at the end, but i intend to watch it again in a month or so when all the fuss dies down. The thing is, I...
