top 10 heavys in no order

top ten?

 

Don't have a definitive top 10, but I would say:

Ali
Louis
Holmes
Johnson
Lewis
Foreman
Holyfield
Dempsey
Tyson



Norton

I take it you plucked 10 random names, because I hope Norton isn't in your top 10 ahead of Frazier/Liston/Marciano/Wills/Jeffries.

 

1. Muhammad Ali
2. Joe Louis
3. Larry Holmes
4. Rocky Marciano
5. Sonny Liston
6. George Foreman
7. Sam Langford
8. Evander Holyfield
9. Jack Johnson
10. Jack Dempsey

 

why people putting holyfield in there? he did some great things at HW but lost a lot too, I would not say he was top 10 (at HW).

 

You would put Norton above the likes of Joe Frazier, Sonny Liston, Rocky Marciano, Jim Jeffries Jersey Joe Walcott, Floyd Patterson, Harry Wills, Max Schmeling, even Ezzard Charles at HW? Norton is no top 10 material, that's for sure. He's falls into the category of 'very good' rather than 'great'.

 

The more he fights now, the more he plunges in my list...

 

Anyone that doesn't have Lewis on their list is ****ing nuts

 

1. Muhammad Ali
2. Joe Louis
3. Larry Holmes
4. Rocky Marciano
5. Sonny Liston
6. George Foreman
7. Sam Langford
8. Lennox Lewis
9. Jack Johnson
10. Jack Dempsey

 

Well it is not so much about now cause anything he does now is a bonus but even during his main run at HW , I would not say he was top 10. H2H many great HW's beat him in his HW prime. He lost to Bowe, Ruiz and to be honest Lennox Lewis totally outclassed him in their first fight.

Top 3 at CW (if not number 1) but at HW - he did great things for a smaller man but he gets beat on by the true great HWs.

 

Langford's HW credentials are not good enough to put him on a top 10 list in my opinion. I mean on a P4P basis, the number of losses against Wills doesn't affect him and his victories propel him, but at HW, they do count. Otherwise it's a decent list.

 

1:Ali
2:Louis
3:Johnson
4:Lewis
5:Foreman
6:Holmes
7:Holyfield
8: Dempsey
9:Tyson
10:Norton

 

I agree, Norton isnt near the top 10 heavies.
