Mike was a very good box fighter in his late eighties prime. I have him in the lower reaches of my Top 10 heavies.
Oh yes,Fergy. "That Tunney is a fancy dan. I would have licked him just as I would have done any sonofabitch in the house!"
I see a particular fondness for Dempsey from John L.
Ken would have had a good shot at beating any 1940s heavyweight with the exception of Joe Louis. Joe would have stopped Ken early.
Sonny's definitely Top 10 for me.
I do see Usyk as potentially being Fury's toughest ever test. If Tyson beats Oleksandr then,in my mind,he could be the best heavy since Lennox...
My take precisely,Fergy. Marvin's on top virtually all the way.
Being famous among the no-boxing public. For example,Muhammad Ali and Joe Louis were household names,whereas only the true boxing fans will...
Maybe he would have moved with the times and lost his bigotry about the colour line or maybe not? Sullivan would have liked the attacking heavies...
We've had plenty of debates about whom we consider to be the greatest heavyweights of all but how about if we focus on whom we reckon to be the...
I have Sonny down as a Top 10 heavyweight great. And the second best heavyweight of the 1960s. A hard hitting,skilful box-puncher.
I agree with all of that plus John would outwork Bernard.
That would have been one awesome fight. Dwight was a firecracker in the ring.
As has been said,Marvin gave Tommy no choice. Hearns was trapped in the most savage of storms. Hagler was on fire that night.
Ken too tough for Michael. Spinks not elusive enough to avoid enough of Norton's punches nor hard hitting enough to deter the latter.
