1. Wladimir Klitschko

5. Vasily Klitschko

7. Yuri Klitschko

This is probably the best list, I have so far seen. I can't imagine why anyone would have bums like Ali, Holmes, Foreman, Frazier, Maciano or louis on them. Pretty ridiculous if you ask me.

I have already constructed a list earlier on this thread, but would like to revise it, given that I firmly believe the following to be the greatest heavyweights ever...

1. Bob Stallings.
2. Walter Santamore
3. Dave Jaco
4. Jack Roper
5. John Morton
6. George " Scrap Iron" Johnson
7. Danny Sutton
8. Rick Keller
9. Joe Grimm
10. Bobby Crabtree

 

Janitor, your list is the most interesting to think about. A question mark is Langford in that Wills won all but two of their bouts, those two ko losses to Sam, and he and others felt even in those two he was in command until the one punch ko's. He also stopped Sam. Your thoughts?

 

Mr magoo, now now, how could you leave off Ron Stander

 

A fair observation.

I don't think that it is fair to say that Langford lost all but two of their fights at least six of them being NCs.

I think that Langford was starting to slip when he met Wills for the first time and was shot by some of their later fights. I also think that he beat better versions of Jeanette and McVea. I am also more impressed with Langford as an all round package.

Having said that I have no problem with anybody who puts Wills over Langford.

Welcome to the ESB forums mate, may you stay be a long and enjoyable one.:good

Yeah your list is pretty good- a fair proportion of those guys would feature in my top 10. Charles and Moore were genuinely great fighters, however I personally think they warrant a Top 10 placing based on resume, legacy and "absolute greatness" from a HW perspective. Lennox Lewis is definitely in my Top 10 (ditto Holyfield) whilst Foreman and Johnson don't quite make it (I rate Jeffries ahead of JJ- am prob among a minority in that respect)

I think Tyson is perhaps a wee bit high, though I too have him at the tail end of my list. All 'bout the opinions though hence the reason why forums exist.


1. Joe Louis
2. Muhammad Ali/Larry Holmes (can't separate these guys)
4. Rocky Marciano (headto-head he'd be quite a bit lower, however his career record puts him this high)
5. Lennox Lewis
6. Joe Frazier
7. Jack Dempsey
8. Evander Holyfield
9. Mike Tyson
10. Sonny Liston

Nothing I love more than a healthy debate, so feel free to discect and evaluate as you so wish? :good
