    well, maybe he could but all I remember about him was throwing his belt in the trash and avoiding Lennox Lewis like the black plague.

    Good list, dude.



    In fact, if you switched marciano and foreman, I would 100% agree.

    Has anyone here even heard of Harry Wills? He should be in any serious top 10.

    I like your posts typically but this list is terrible. Vitali hasn't even supassed Wlad let alone cracking the top 10! And Ridick Bowe would have a hard time cracking the top 25.....

    the rest are kinda arguable but to be honest I wouldn't have holyfield or Tyson in there. What about Langford? not even top 20 love? crazyness.

    Ali
    Louis
    Holmes
    Johnson
    Langford
    Lewis
    Dempsey
    Foreman
    Frazier
    Marciano

    You obviously know heavyweights, but why do you have Dempsey over Marciano, who did Dempsey beat that overshadows Marcianos accomplishments?

    Even if Marciano beat old men, he still beat HOF bound fighters like Walcott x2, Charles x2, Archie Moore and a badly faded Louis. I feel Dempsey is heavily overrated and shouldn't be included in the top10 even.:think

    I must be in the minority.
    I cannot stand marciano breaking the top 5.

    Like the Jeffries mention he was the Marciano of his time. Had he never came back he would have been a bigger legend.

    I tend to rank by reign

    so in no real order

    Ali
    Louis
    Holmes
    Lewis
    Johnson
    Wlad

    Longetivity

    Foreman
    Holyfield
    Walcott
    Undefeated or atleast a good streak

    Marciano
    Jeffries
    Sullivan
    Fashion of their victories

    Ingmar Johanson
    Sonny Liston
    Jack Dempsey
    Foreman

    So many greats hard to rank or order

    I cannot place Bowe higher than Holy, nor can I rate Frazier above Holmes....

    I rate and favor Vitali Klit because I like him and he scares me in the ring. I think he is for real.. I also believe many ex-champs would **** a brick if they faced him in a time machine / zone...... V.K. is a very scary dude who owns skills.......

    Vitali isn't Top10.

    He's definitely Top25, and arguably Top20, but Top10??

    Two glaring issues ruin the list.

    Vitali anywhere near the top 15 and Bowe anywhere near the top 25.
