    Norton above Louis is an interesting one. Care to comment?

    Apart from the placement of Tyson, Foreman, Liston, Norton, Louis and Charles that's a great list

    I believe Norton would do well head to head with Louis.

    Louis´s achievements are better of course.

    It always depends what criterias you use when making these lists.

    Yeah, i am quite heavily into head to head.

    Wouldn't give Norton a snowballs chance in hell v Louis myself! Though you never know.

    Norton´s win over Ali didn´t impress you?

    Very much. I rate Norton, a very good fighter. But with Louis he'd find himself in with a guy properly designed to knock him out. A guy who would be hitting him very hard and accuratley from round one. Norton's chin may be hard to come by but Louis doesn't need to hit a man on the chin to knock him down, and he was a fine finisher.

    To say that this list is awfull would be an insult to other people with awfull lists.

    Why so hard on this one? Louis is to low, Norton and Charles are too high but a case could be made for every fighter in every other placing.

    These guys that are missing might be at 11, 12 etc.

    I am sorry but anybody who has Norton over Louis should be horse whipped, covered in treacle and rolled in a heap of coal dust.

    Education education education! Not whipping.

    I think it's an OK list, apart from this strange error.

    Well he did threatened to do murder!

    The one drawback to ESB as opposed to a boozer - threatening to kill someone actually has consequences :lol:

    I was live for that mad exchange and you could see it spiralling out of control. Just out of nothing.
