Greatest white heavyweight of all time?

Clearly its John McDermott, as he's the only man to beat Tyson Fury in a professional boxing match.

 

Mike the Giant?

 

Alternative race-neutral post title: "Who is the greatest heavyweight other than Ali, Louis, Holmes, Lewis, Holyfield, Foreman, Tyson, Liston, or Jackson"?

 

1. Wlad
2. Marciano
3. Dempsey

h2h Dempsey beats Wlad, Wlad beats Marciano (50/50 because of Wlad's **** stamina), Marciano beats Dempsey.

 

The standouts in chronological order are:

Sullivan
Jeffries
Dempsey
Marciano
Wlad

All of these guys dominated a definable era, with Dempsey probably having the most problems with his title reign, and Marciano the least. Sullivan and Wlad have obviously got it on depth and longevity. Head to head you can speak with a lot more confidence about the last three, than you can about the first two.

 

Jack Johnson obviously!

 

Yikes. Meant to write "Johnson," not "Jackson."

 

In terms of their overall career, resume, historical importance, and dominance, I would go:
1) John L Sullivan
2) Rocky Marciano
3) Jack Dempsey
4) Wladimir Klitschko
5) Jim Jeffries

If we are talking head-to-head, I would have it as follows:
1) Vitali Klitschko
2) Wladimir Klitschko
3) Tyson Fury
4) Jerry Quarry
5) Jack Dempsey / Alexander Povetkin

I also think Usyk has a chance to be really good if he eventually moves up to heavyweight.

 

Joe Frazier then I guess!

 

Tye Fields
Duane Bobick
Pete Radamacher

 

AGREE

 

I thought you were meaning Peter Jackson & thought it was a great call. I think both Jackson and Johnson were top 10 heavyweight & can't decide who would win in a fight in their primes.
