Who would you consider the top 10 cruiserweights of all time before the division began? 1. Joe Louis 2. Jack Dempsey 3. Rocky Marciano 4. Jack Johnson 5. Sam Langford 6. Ezzard Charles 7. Gene Tunney 8. Floyd Patterson 9. Max Schmeling 10. Jerry Quarry
Jack Johnson and Joe Louis were 200+. They're not CWs. That said, my list is probably: 1. Marciano 2. Charles 3. Patterson 4. Dempsey 5. Schmeling 6. Walcott 7. Langford 8. Quarry 9. Machen 10. Tunney Interesting topic.
Patterson is better than tunney, langford and charles at 188. He is in the top 5 with Louis,marciano,dempsey and johnson.
Johnson was largely sub 200 until after he won the title. Louis was sub 200 against Max Baer, Sharkey, Braddock, Schmeling, and Conn
Maybe something like 1. Joe Louis 2. Rocky Marciano 3. Jack Johnson A big gap 4. John L Sullivan 5. Ezzard Charles 6. Jack Dempsey 7. Floyd Patterson 8. Gene Tunney 9. Max Schmeling 10. Jack Sharkey
Good pick. Its hard for me to rate Fitzimmons because the footage of him is of such poor quality, hard to judge his greatness. There is some decent footage on Langford though.
Marciano Charles Patterson Dempsey Tunney Schmeling Moore Harold Johnson Bivins I’ll give Fitz some love Some of the others are at strange weights not really cruiser not heavy lol so some of the bigger names I left off
