    Even though i'm 24 I have to say Foreman. But Duran should be mentioned because after No Mas, he wasn't respected at all, then beating Davey Moore who was favorite to win 154 title

    I'm always amazed by the ignorance, stupidity and lack of any boxing knowledge whatsoever in your posts so I didn't expect much when I saw this. But you started off pretty good actually with all that Ali stuff. But then you went ahead and ruined it. Tysons comback is THE worst in the history of all sports. He did more to damage the sport in his post-prison career then any other man in history. He wasn't even good, he was a disgrace to Cus and Rooney and even a disgrace to the fighter he was prior to prison. :deal

    If Foreman isn't at the top of everyone list - then there's something wrong here.

    Either that or some people knowledge goes a bit further back than yours.

    1-Braddock
    2-Foreman
    3-Eder Jofre. Jofre retired for 3 years after getting robbed against Harada. It took him 3 years more to win the WBC featherweight title at the age of 38.

    i have to agree, leonards win over the marvelous one was great but foremans was amazing and a lot of so called experts ridiculed him at the time.
    for foreman to stretch a peak holyfield and knock out moorer will live in my memory for ever.

    Henry Maske deserves a mention, avenging his lose to Virgil Hill in a comeback fight 10 years apart from their original match-up.

    Vinny Pazienza just being able to fight again was an impressive feat in itself.
