Boxing.com's heavyweight poll - the result

I voted.....I have Frazier higher than most of the people it seems......in sixth.

 

Yes. I rate Holyfield higher than many....ah you put him at # 8 too, I see your list now....:good
Same here, I agree with you.....
To me, wins like Holyfield over Tyson and Frazier over Ali have a lot of value.....combined with their great careers.
I think I would even rate Holyfield over Marciano, but not this time, I often changea bit my list, except the top 4....

 

1st: Joe Louis
2nd: Muhammad Ali
3rd: Rocky Marciano
4th: Sonny Liston
5th: Lennox Lewis
6th: Larry Holmes
7th: Jack Dempsey
8th: George Foreman
9th: Mike Tyson
10th: Joe Frazier

 

I used to have Johnson at # 5 or higher.......changed that in ESB a time ago....

I have an old book from college from years ago and I wrote a HW list in there during the class at the time (in 2008), check it out how my list changed since then :

1-Ali
2-Louis
3-Dempsey
4-Foreman
5-Johnson
6-Holmes
7-Holyfield
8-Tyson
9-Frazier
10-Schmeling

very different..... :conf

 

I posted my list. Here it is:
Muhammad Ali (60's version, best heavy I've seen)
Joe Louis
Rocky Marciano
Larry Holmes
Sonny Liston
George Foreman
Mike Tyson
Joe Frazier
Jack Johnson
Jack Dempsey

Johnson and Dempsey certainly have thier detractors, but I think their impact on the sport was very significant and gets them on my list.

 

Delete.

 

Keeping in mind, I`m listing fighters I`ve seen good footage of (same as every list I`ve ever did on here )

1. Muhammad Ali
2. Joe Louis
3. Larry Holmes
4. Mike Tyson
5. George Foreman
6. Joe Frazier
7. Rocky Marciano
8. Sonny Liston
9. Lennox Lewis
10. Wladimir Klitschko

Ps. Number 10 could easily be Holyfield, Vitali or some other ****, haven`t did a HW list for a while... 1 & 2 are set in stone... & 3-7 could be jumbled around.

 

Posted mine although I already changed my mind a bit:

(not ranking active fighters)

1-Ali
2-Louis
3-Lewis
4-Marciano
5-Holmes
6-Frazier
7-Holyfield
8-Tyson
9-Liston
10-Foreman

 

You know, in all these years of being a fan during the Age of the Internet, it never occurred to me to simply plug "boxing.com" into the URL field. It really shouldn't come as any shock at all that a such named site exists.
