Interesting list. Why the live for Patterson? I've never really took a liking to him

 

1. Joe Louis
2. Ezzard Charles
3. Primo Carnera
4. Stanley Ketchel
5. Sugar Ray Robinson
6. Max Schmeling
7. Rocky Marciano
8. Willie Pep
9. Jack Johnson

Mine and others' lists are definitely big on the heavyweights for this era. These guys would all appear on my list of 20 favorite ever. It would look like: 1 for pre-1900 for the great John L., the above 9 for 1900-60, and from 60-12 would fill the other half of my top 20 (Monzon, Hearns, Ricardo Lopez, Mayweather Jr, Paulie, etc.).

 

Favorite fighters pre 1960...

3)Tunney

I've never seen any of these guys fight, so this is all based on nothing.

... actually that's not true. I think I saw a black and white youtube of Jimmy Wilde knock someone out once. Also, I saw Raging Bull, so I definitely know what's up with pre-1960 boxers.

 

I'm a big fan of Schmelling too! And I like Carnera as well, sad story but dude came from nothing in the middle of nowhere as part of circus act to be the heavyweight champion and he was a lot better than he's given credit for nowadays.

 

1. Floyd Patterson
2. Ezzard Charles
3. Gene Tunney
4. Jake LaMotta
5. Flash Ellorde
