The Ipswich Express Top 100 Fighters of All Time List

Better skill set is debatable and I have had this Ali/Tyson convo a million times on this forum...The Klits have done enough to suggest they have the ability to crush both

 

The Klits and Tyson would be awesome, Tyson would have both of them in ***** street a lot of the time I reckon.
These are fights which could go a different way every time.

Ali handles all of them, but funnily enough I see him having a harder time with Iron Mike.

 

I think the Klits should be in a diff weight class to Tyson and Ali. They are very big men who just happen to possess power, skill, smartness and one of them has a great jaw.

 

We talking super heavyweights here Teke , the only reason these Klits have ruled for so long is their size put them in with the likes of Ali , Frazier , Norton , Holmes , Shavers etc @ around six foot two inch and they would get their boots smoked period .

 

If they were this, if they were that...Yes well if I had a 11 inch **** you would be in trouble :yep

Like I said their size is a big factor in their success.

I would like to thank the Welsh for completing another successful Multi bet win yesterday :happy

 

True true, but Ali's combo's, evasion, and hand speed, would tie the big fellas in knots.
Ali wasn't exactly small, 6'4" or so.

Ali would do to Wlad what Ippy

Haye would have done.... :deal

 

Came across this in an article and thought it was interesting......

"Who was the greatest heavyweight champion of all time? The very question produces heated debate among boxing fans and historians. The task of rating the heavyweight champions has always been difficult. How does one compare fighters from one era to another? In judging the all time greats, how does one eliminate one’s own particular prejudices towards certain fighters? We all have our own likes and dislikes in terms of style whether fast, speedy mobile boxers or brawlers with menacing power. We also have prejudices towards certain times such as the “Golden Age of Boxing” or the “Modern Era”- fighters from our own generation whom we have seen.

According to studies done for radio advertising, an individual’s favorite music, opinions, and political views are all likely to be formed between the ages of 17 to 24. It is not surprising, therefore, that most baby boomers prefer Muhammad Ali, while “generation next” prefer the likes of Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, or Lennox Lewis. Old-timers may prefer Rocky Marciano, Joe Louis, or even Jack Dempsey."

 

You can always tell the type of bloke you are dealing with by the company he keeps and the people he admires .

 

Mr Ispwich

You do very good work. But I have one question. Why so many black man compare to white man on you list? Are you racist or black man just better at boxing? Please explain.

 

Pls answer the hard questions. No sidestep, this not rugby.

 

Hi Ippy, thanks for a great read! I am a new poster (been reading the forum for a bit though so thought why not join).
Having not really started watching boxing untill the late 70's, early 80's i enjoyed your research and explanation on older fighers, gave me something to research further and was a great list and enjoyable!

Well done!

 

I will definetly try and track it down! Thanks again
