    Great. Riddick Bowe had a two year prime too. Big deal.

    But c´mon, MDWC, I know I AM LEGEND is a big Tyson-fan and overrates him a bit, but you as a normal Ali- fan should agree, that everytime someone says something negative about Muhammad, he gets called a hater, it´s really hardcore with Ali...

    Ali's the clear #1 for me. I want very badly top put Louis at 1. I don't like Ali. That's how i know i'm right, I guess.

    No, seriously, even the best (I have him at 2nd best HW ever) ever can´t be untouchable, everyone has/ had their weaknesses, but with Ali here on ESB it´s really almost funny...

    What he does with Tyson fights is look at Boxrec and go by the judge who scored it for Mike by the biggest margin. He does this all the time. Even as I type I'm thinking of delaying it, as he'll say 8-2 vs Tillis (because one judge had it that). Just like his "Tyson lost one round" vs Tucker and "Tyson won every round" (vs Thomas).

    Jeffries at #4? I got him at #6 and have always felt that might be a bit to high...where do you have Johnson? I see them as a matching pair.

    You're right. The likes of Groove and CMC III are embarrassing.

    Like the two judges. Yeah, they voted 4 rounds for Tillis because he was such box-office gold.

    I was talking Ali fans in that post. But Bill1234 is probably worse than you you're right. ;)
