    Take his age into account when picking up most of those and the fashion in which he did it and it becomes a tad more impressive ;)

    Some other HW's... Little Red's list may be different by a couple here or there.

    Ali: 32-5
    Louis: 30-3
    Holmes: 20-5
    Lewis: 15-2-1
    Tyson: 13-4
    Holyfield: 11-7-2 (HW only)
    Marciano: 11-0


    Frazier, Liston, Foreman... :?

    BIG George didn't really fight too many, of course he blasted Frazier and Norton to smitherines and won back the title 20 years on from losing it.

    Duran decision, too many tools, too much stamina.

    I dont believe to many people would put Duran losing to DLH, especially at 140

    Oscar def' beat Tito & SSM the 2nd time, Sweet Pea & Ike were very close and could have gone either way, Oscar finished well vs Ike and was the agressor vs Pea.

    I don't remember Forrest being a potental contender for Oscar while he was at WW, thought Oscar was on the way out when he was on the way up. No way Forrest is better than Oscar, Mayorga even out boxed him.

    Winky and Ike are nowhere near Oscar

    25% of Hopkins MW defences were against Allen and Echols, Hopkins had to leave his own division because he could not beat Jermain Taylor.

    Mayweathers own division finally started to get some good comp' so he retires , then ducked a former FW for health reasons.

    I am just a fan of any boxer that takes on all comers, esp' if they have cleaned out their own division

    Absolutely no chance of an early K.O. Duran may go down early to a left hook, like DeJesus.

    Also, no need to quote my post twice.
