If boxing was light-contact...

The Jack Dempsey's, Rocky Marciano's and George Foreman's would DQ.

 

They wouldn't even get licensed!

There's be a three-strike rule in the amateurs...more than 3 victories by any form of stoppage and you'd never be allowed to turn pro.

 

Howard Davis and Mark Breland would rank MUCH higher.

 

I thought PBF's pot-shots were considered being light-contact?

 

Tyrell Biggs would own it.

 

I think Roy Jones Jr might just be the greatest of All time, although Ali, himself, would still take some beating. Also, i wonder whether the size of Vitali or Wlad might also make him hard to beat. I think that is the 4 best ever.

 

How about Locche at 140

 

NOt sure how i missed it, but Tunney is definitely one to beat under these rules.

How would Harry Greb do?

 

i like this list, but i'm not sure i'd rush to include langford. he sure did like to hurt his opponents... not many could live with him physically (or so i hear).

pep would be great. holmes would have to have given up his penchant for the odd war, and stick to the boxing. foreman would never have made it, as already mentioned. i'd say napoles would have done well here, good fundamental skills, precision punching. whoever mentioned tunney was right on the money.

 

jesus this would suck jimmy young would b champ tho

 

With some of the fights and decisions I've seen in the last few years I'm beginning to wonder whether boxing is already like this.

 

Ray Leonard would've flurried opponents to death. The likes of Troy Dorsey, Ray Oliveira and Zack Padilla would've been top class fighters. Actually I forgot the textbook part of it, but in a battle of punches thrown they would be champions.

 

Willie Pep by a mile

 

Touchie',:happy

 

Zab Judah would be the greatest boxer of all time.
