Ranking the Heavyweights head to head 1955-1965

i think johansson is a tough high for my taste, prefer moore and johnson to be honest.

solid list otherwise, would be curious about brief explanations for each

 

I would move Terrell up a notch or two, but pretty much agree with the rest of the order. Don't judge Terell on the Ali match alone. He looks much better in the others.

 

I dont see too many arguments with your top 10, the further down you get the easier it is to argue people up or down a few spots but thats the case with any list.

Good stuff and nice to see a picture with each one.:thumbsup

 

Terrell and Williams need to move up imo, I'd probably have them at 5-6, I'd agree with your top 4 though

 

Might be inclined to placing Terrell above Williams just a hair, but I suppose its debatable... Other than that I can't disagree.

 

I agree with your TOP 5...
And I´m with magoo....Terrell above Williams...

 

Are both of Williams fights with Terrell available?

 

Still drives me nuts that the Liston-DeJohn fight isn't in circulation. They show a clip of it on the 1994 HBO Liston doc, so I know it's out there. Someone is holding onto it real tight

 

I´ve never watched Wiliams vs Terrell I or II......but I think Terrell has better wins:
- Chuvalo
- Foster
- Doug Jones
- Zora Folley
- Eddie Machen

 

Agreed.. Ad that to the fact that he did briefly hold a world title ( albeit a paper championship ) and I think we have more to go on...

 

want to know this sq49

 

Other than my usual gripe that Williams is way overrated, the list is bang on. Cleroux, Chuvalo and Summerlin might have a shout. Personally I rate Machen ahead of Folley dispite their two fights, more consistent.
