Let's see you top 10 HW's weighing 225 plus

I'd pick Bruno, Morrison, David Tua and more than a few to take them out head to head.

 

Tubbs better than Manila Ali? I don't think so.

 

I think in a sense that the Manila Ali was well suited to take any heavyweight champion.
the 66' version of Ali was more classy, and had better speed and movement, but the 75' Ali had better power, and more exp. plus this version wa snore of a slugger. that right lead that he had was great. I think this version actually beats most of the heavyweight champions out there.
ultimately, I think 75' Ali was the best Ali there ever was. but 66' Ali was his best preformance IMO.

Tbh Pete, i was thinking of Ali of 1976/'77 when i did my list.

 

1. Vitali Klitschko
2. George Foreman
3. Lennox Lewis
4. Wladimir Klitschko
5. Larry Holmes
6. Oliver McCall
7. David Tua
8. Tony Tucker
9. Riddick Bowe
10. James Douglas


11. Sugar Nikolay Valuev
12. Sam Peter
13. Jameel McCline




I chose to exclude Tyson and Holyfield and even Ali (!) (despite he was 225 and above in a few of his fights)

 

If the clearly faded, worst-ever-version of Lennox Lewis tore prime Vitali a new face, how the hell can you rate Lewis #3 and Vitali #1 at their respective best?

 

It was a win on cuts , who knows if it was caused by the dreadlocks or something like this , but Vitali deserved a rematch he never got , the same for Vitali-Puritty.
Another thing is Vitali never got his head ringing the way Lewis got it twice.

 

1. Primo Carnera
2. George Godfrey
3. Jess Willard
4. Buddy Baer
5. Fred Fulton (undefeated at 225)
6. Ray Impellitere
7. Hein Ten Hoff (undefeated at 225 plus)
8. Carl Morris
9. Bill Tate
10. Ed Dunkhorst

 

Then you would be verry badly mistaken.

Tua maybe.

Bruno or Morrison?

 

If you are going to base your entire argument around the fact that certain fighters weighed over 200lbs, then you have to place some value on the fact that these guys were over that weight.

You cant have it both ways.

 

Lennox Lewis at number one. Pretty easy decision really, I'd have him number 1 on a 200lb, 175lb or 150lb list aswell

 

Dreadlocks causing cuts.....****ing hell
