One of the greatest punchers and one of the best Heavyweights ever but not the best boxer ever, theres quite a few fighters i would rank over him, still one of the greats though.
def up there especially amongst the heavies. the best overall? debatable. you'll get much better feedback in the classic. i'd advise being able to articulate why though unless youre in the market for a new *******.
Definitely not. He is one of the most overrated fighters in the history of boxing. He would be sliced to bits by a prime Muhammad Ali or Larry Holmes. Guys like Lennox Lewis or the Klitschkos would demolish him with their skilled size. He should not even be on a top ten pound for pound list. You mean to tell me he is a greater fighter than Sugar Ray Robinson, Harry Greb, Henry Armstrong, Willie Pep, Sugar Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran or Sam Langford? Miss me with that sh*t.
