    He can't be the greatest ever if he didn't come up the hard way like my boy floyd money mayweather.
     
  5. being good has nothing to do with size ya douche.
     
  6. He's #3 on my ATG HW list. Louis,Ali and then Johnson.

    I don't think so, he gets rated high for being the first black heavyweight champion. He was a big part of changing boxing forever along with Burns, who gave him a shot.

    Exactly he was a very important character, but in terms os H2H he is not top 20.

    Just like a 100 meter runner from 1920 would not even get into finals in any modern race.

    How can you possibly have Johnson number 3?

    You make excellent rankings usually, so I have to look closely at this...

    I would have Dempsey a bit lower.. and Lennox in the top 11 (Vitaly too if you are talking H2H).

    Jack Johnson I really don't think I would have no. 3... although in terms of sheer importance for HW boxing he can be ranked no. 3.

    I don't think he would fair very well against modern heavyweights. Even h2h someone like Jack Dempsey would have been a stiff challange for him based on the limited video I have seen of both.
