So, What Greats Would Crush The Most...

Duran would beat every single lightweight atg and a few ww atgs.
Walker and Robinson at ww and mw.

 

u kidding? Lennox was not dominant against top opposition at ALL. his top opposition he faced, he struggled tremendously..........old holyfield(very close 2nd fight, unable to floor in 24 rounds), 36 year old mercer dead even fight, vitali klitschko and frank bruno behind on cards, oliver mccall one punch knockout loss, rahman one punch knockout loss. lennox never had a ATG career defining dominating performance over a very good fighter, with a close possiblity being ruddock fight where he looked amazing. lennox has a very good resume, but he was far from dominating and usually had very boring "mega fights"(like tua fight)

Perfect examples are mike tyson and sonny liston.


Folley
Machen
patterson
williams
Dejohn

all the top contenders liston faced in his prime he dominated beating them cleanly and uncontroversially



tubbs
thomas
berbick
holmes
spinx
ruddock
williams
bruno

all top contenders tyson faced during his title reign he dominated them. cleanly and uncontroversially.




liston and tyson would dominate other ATGs.

 

Yes he won, he has a great resume, BUT he was not dominant. he did not crush opponents the way tyson and liston did.

 

Razor Ruddock...... crushed.


Andrew Golota...... crushed, after dominating the same Bowe that stopped Holyfield twice


Michael Grant, crushed in 2, after being seen as the next big thing


Mike Tyson, crushed, he was past his best but still scoring a lot of knockouts


Tommy Morrison, knocked down 4 times and beaten so easily he quit mentally.


David Tua, hard punching rising star, won every single one of the 12 rounds. Call it boring, i call it an easy, dominant win over the number one contender.


Evander Holyfield, just beat Tyson twice and avenged his loss to Moorer. Lost a pretty dominant fight, but was given a Don King draw. In the second fight he did better, but it was still a clear win.




As for Lewis getting knocked out, that's true.

However, between 1994 and 2001 he was undefeated. That's 8 years of top opposition. A lot more than Tyson's 4 years from 1987-1990. Or Liston's 1958-1962.

 

o i forgot louis would crush most ATGS, i dont think anyone in history beats a peak joe louis.

 

Well, he looked pretty damn good against Golota, Ruddock, Botha and Tyson. And they were all credible opponents (Tyson was seen as a very dangerous fighter still and had some good pretty recent victories).

 

Tyson is 2-3 against fellow atgs, Liston 2-2, Lewis 3-0. That´s more of an indication how they would do against them than fights against lesser fighters.

 

Not really, when you take into account where Tyson was at in his career in those losses and who Liston(who was also starting to slip) faced.

Lewis by comparison beat a shot Tyson and a faded Holyfield twice for his "ATG" wins.

I prefer to base it strictly on prime career when discussing this type of thing.

 

Joe Louis could produce some prety convincing demolitions of certain all time greats. Baer and Schmeling basicaly were all time greats when they were crushed.

Jem Driscoll dominated Abe Atell in a way that no great should never dominate another.

Roy Jones (not a huge fan) dominated James Toney and would do the same to others.
