    was thinking about putting Louis in at ten, but Wlad would crush him in a H2H meet up.

    Ibeabuchi? Inspired choice.

    I'm going to leave this running through the weekend to get a few more lists, then start seeding.

    1(a)Lewis
    1(b)Vitali
    3. Wlad
    4.Tyson
    5. Holyfield
    6. Bowe
    7. Holmes
    8. Sanders
    9. Peter
    10. Haye

    These threads are absolutely worthless.
    So filled with emotional and fantasy content they illustrate the out of phase state of the Dopamine deficient brain.

    I think science can use them to forecast future or present bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and Alzhiemer’s sufferers. :yep

    Is this some kind of sick ****ing joke?!?

    Lennox and Vitali at 1 and 2? Horrible. Especially Vitali at 2, but both of those are just utter trash. Sure, the H2H GOAT gets starched cold by McCall and Rahman or quits against Byrd... Absolutely not.

    Lennox and Vitali can lose to far lesser foes but explain to me George Foreman being all the way down at 9. Based on what, the L to Jimmy Young?!?

    Joe Louis at 7... Riggggghhhhht. Some of you people don't understand the vast and incomparable differences from era to era.

    Jack Johnson is a H2H nightmare, straight up. Anybody who doesn't think so probably hasn't looked into and read much about that time period and Johnson himself. Same with Jeffries. And to a lesser extent Marciano. I understand the size argument but how does Holyfield then rank so highly and Frazier even ahead of those guys, while Tyson is ahead of Bowe/Foreman etc. who have the big size and arguable style advantage on him as well?

    lol. They're just seedings. Let's see how they shake out once the voting begins.

    no. but your thoughts seem to be a sick joke.

    Lewis lost to McCall because at the time he was focused too much on Bowe and Holyfield. everyone knows you should never look past your opponent.

    Lewis lost to Rahman because he didn't train, wasn't taking Rahman seriously, and turned up in Africa only ten days before the fight.
    watching Lewis in the first round with his mouth open and trying to get the thin air into his lungs is quite obvious to even a brain dead child.

    Lewis beat both with ease when on top of his ****. to class all the achievements of Lewis as devoid based off of those two defeats with genuine reason behind them, shows you to be either biased in the extreme and a know nothing in the worst case possible, or you're an ESPN brain-washed druid who thinks the likes of Bert Randolth Sugar actually has any worth to what he says, when it's clear he never did. :good

    Byrd didn't beat Vitali, an injury did. an injury that Byrd didn't cause. Vitali should have sucked it up but the shoulder was career threatening, so he pulled out. Byrd was never close to ever beating Vitali other than him having a major injury.

    the only loss of legitimacy was the one suffered by Vitali over Lewis.

    you say i read your post incorrectly... could you please be more specific. Thanks.

    Lewis and Vitail, amongst others, would smash holes in most of the fighters you had in your top ten in disgusting miss-matches. :deal
