my favorite heavyweight ever

Muhamed Ali

then :

Mike Tyson
Lennox Lewis
Evander Holyfield
Ridick Bowe

This generation of this four maybe was onr of the best in history of heavyweight.

 

My faves:

Louis
Holmes
Johnson
Lewis

 

Johnson, Tyson & Ali

 

Liston had a mistique, an aura, few had it , but he commanded it. He was always surrounded by notoriety.. Great fighter who had a vast number of unknown quantities surrounding him. Liston was the epitomy of tough.

 

Mines dempsey easily

 

Is that the one with treat williams from the mid 80s or so?,not to shabby from my memorys.

 

Jerry Quarry. Kinda tough luck guy, came along the same time a Frazier, Ali. Seemed to get cut only in big fights, which most people don't know. He life was quite a soap opera.

 

Dempsey strangely enough

 

For me:
Tyson

then Louis, Frazier, Foreman, Liston, Marciano.

 

i have 2 hws in my top 10 all time favorites......tyson at 2 and dempsey at 6

 

My favorite is Evander Holyfield.

I know that he wasn't the greatest heavyweight of all time, but I guess that because I grew up watching him so closely that I developed a close liking for him.

Here are my main reasons:

1. He had tremendous guts

2. He never quite, even when badly hurt

3. He was a well rounded boxer/puncher

4. He always showed up in great shape

5. He fought the very best fighters available throughout most of his career

6. He was a modest gentleman who didn't talk trash, nor got into big fiascos in or out of the ring.

 

I like Buster Douglas I could relate to him as a person I was a huge Tyson fan and usd to hate Douglas but when I found out more about him I liked him he was a very normal human being who when he got his chance did an extraordinary thing which winning the HW crown in any era is.

 

There will only ever be 1 - Tyson

 

Rocky Marciano followed by Tyson/Ali
