It is a forgone conclusion that most, with a few exceptions Black Heavyweights are among the best of the Heavyweight Champions. Champions like Ali,Louis, Johnson, Tyson just to name a few. What I was thinking was, what about the rest of the Champions in a Tournament. What was left was a very, very competetive, wide open Tournament. Many, many interesting match up's. No clear cut winner in this one. When casting vote's, please try to give an analysis & round result if possible. First round will be 10 Rounds. Second Round 12 Rounds. Rounds thereafter will be 15 round Bouts. Here's my list of 32 fighters. If anyone has any suggestions. Please state which fighter & which one you like him to replace. This should be a competitive tourney, with many interesting matches. In No particular order: 1. Rocky Marciano 2. George Chuvalo 3. Jack Dempsey 4. Gene Tunney 5. Max Schmeling 6. Gerrie Coetzee 7. Gerry Cooney 8. Wladimir Klitschko 9. John L. Sullivan 10. James J. Corbett 11. Les Darcy 12. James J. Jefferies 13. Bob Fitzsimmons 14. Jerry Quarrey 15. Max Baer 16. Oscar Bonavena 17. Vitali Klitschko 18. George Carpentier 19. Luis Angel Firpo 20. Billy Conn 21. Tommy Morrison 22. James J. Braddock 23. Ingemar Johanssen 24. Tommy Burns 25. Corrie Sanders 26. Jess Willard 27. John Ruiz 28. Nicalai Valuev 29. David Tua 30. Henry Cooper 31. Primo Carnera 32. Jack Sharkey
Yes, the Black Heavyweight Champions are among the best the Division has to offer. This Tournament is a little different. Consisting of the rest of the Champions in Heavyweight history. Not for the greatest Heavyweight Ever.
LoL nobody gets this is a non-black and whites HW tourny. Tua is the only non-white on that list I think.
Exactly. Tua is a Samoan, Just a Tournament of other than Black Heavyweights. Just something a little different.
I could have easily dona an All-Black Tournament. But the Names would be pretty much the same as in any Heavyweight Tourney. But this IS different & highly competitive. Look at the names, No real clear cut winner here. Should be interesting...
I'm sure la-califa didn't construct this list with racial prejudice in his heart. He just used skin-color as a divider because he suspected the end-result would be an interesting tournament.
nah La-califa is an extreme rascist this thinking made black fighters get unfair deals, now hes excluding them from a fun HW tourny shame on him just joking
