    A top 10 without Muhammad Ali is bull****.

    Ps. I know franks list was much worse, but to be fair... he`s clearly having a joke.

    This is unacceptable in anyone`s language, completely mesmerising.

    Agreed, any list of the top ten heavies of all time without Ali is bull****. :deal

    I disagree. I dont even think Ali was the best ever Heavyweight.

    Why?

    I could justify him going above McAuliffe without too much trouble, as they are very close but for this list i gave 1 division dominance a high rating, but i think he struggles to get any higher than this. He was an awesome welterweight champion, definitely one of the two or three best of all time and probably the best. I am not sure where he ranks as a middleweight but probably is top 10 of all time. I dont think this places him higher than any of the top 3, who each started off at a lighter weight than Ray Robinson and went on to be more succesful at higher weights.


    In fairness to Ray, i always fail to give him the benefit of the doubt in a lot of areas because there are so many that overate him and refuse to recognise the claims of other greats.

    Neither Fitzsimmons nor Langford started off at a lower weight than Robinson, and Armstrong didn't go on to greater success at higher weights.

    Fitzsimmons was a New Zealand Lightweight champion. Langford a lightweight also. Did Robinson start off lighter than lightweight? Armstrong was arguably a better middleweight (the higher weights) than Sugar Ray was.
