    Great quality video.
    One of my Ali posters, the one above my laptop, fell down as i was watching the Ali bit. :lol:

    My Favourite bits:

    The Liston & Frazier parts.

    Critique regarding on the order:

    1. Holy is too low (#12), he has the best collection of wins after Ali, i have him at #5.
    Also, he should be above Tyson.

    2. Tyson is too low (#11), his ruthless dominance during his reign of terror gets underrated, i have him at #7.

    3. Dempsey shouldn't be above Holy or Tyson.

    Holy too low. Tyson too low. Dempsey too high. Patterson too low.

    I see no way to rate Dempsey above Tyson. They had quite analogous career arcs and Tyson's trail of devastation was easily more impressive. I know some old wags will puff till blue in the face about the greatness of Fulton, Brennan and Miske... but I just don't think they rate with modern, amateur-trained heavyweights of the modern era... no matter how coked-up they are.

    I just watched, I had to download to see it properly, because the laptop is evil today. Terrific job, man. I especially like the choice of Patterson and Charles footage choices.


    ???...I'm pretty sure the only rational response to you is AfroCunningham.

    I can't see Dempsey above Tyson either, but to be honest, no heavyweight list is ever going to satisfy everyone - on this occasion though it's just worth sitting back and admiring the way it is presented. Over and again. Because that's the most beautiful HW list i've ever seen, no matter how ****ed up it might or might not be.

    I agree.

    Good call. :good

    Do you also agree that Holy should be above them both?

    My opinion was:

    "Holy is too low (#12), he has the best collection of wins after Ali, i have him at #5. Also, he should be above Tyson."

    It sure does look gorgeous.
