PeteThePrince's Top 50 P4P Greatest Fighters Ever - ROUGH DRAFT!!

Even vitamins?

 

I tried being serious about it with the time being. I could never do some full-fledged list because I'd go back and forth like a mad man. I wasn't really worried about posting it though. It was supposed to a be fun little thing. Unique too because of the criteria, but so what if people don't like it. I'm not even sure if I like it but I tried and I think it's alright. It's definitely difficult to do. It's pretty hard to say he's above him. There's really no boundary or end to it all. That's why I don't fancy full fledged lists as oppose to the Top 10 divisional ratings. And even that can be frustrating...

 

It's the end all to be all so get thrilled with it. :twisted:

 

Yep, this was my logic and understanding of it to. Would be very tough to beat even with a weight advantage, let alone without one.

 

Have you seen film of him? It's awe-inspiring for me to watch. Unparreled stamina, two-fisted power, offensive-minded, granite chin (Moore and Walcott could punch and hit him with some terrific shots), underrated defense. Highest KO percentage among retired Heavyweights. Only one fighter went 15 rounds with him, and that was the one of the all time best in Ezzard Charles. Yes, maybe he could've fought for a bit longer but what is not to love? The resiliency. Down on the cards and needing a knockout and does it against Walcott. Terrific fighter in rematches. Had a split nose and probably needed 1 round to KO his opposition to retain his belt and does it. Rocky embodies the American story of work and win. If Joe Louis fought for 14 years among many HW fighters that were 20-40+ pounders heavier and said Marciano hit the hardest than you know he could hit. A great fighter, regardless if he gets mythologized a bit.

 

Okay, took a lot into consideration. Added a few fighters, removed a few fighters (Most of the contemporaries). I think it's alright based upon the criteria. I may be missing someone. Dempsey could be too as well. But honestly, how many people here pick him against Wlad, Frazier, Rocky, Ali, etc. Dempsey has the attributes and skill to certainly beat a lot of bigger men, and he did in his time.

I contemplated putting Armstrong above SRR. But it comes down to SRR having the better style in the H2H fantasy matches. Armstrong had the weight-climbing achievements, though.
