    UNDER 20 YEARS OLD. at 18-19( does not matter if they were not pro fighters at that time, if he was amateur it is fine)

    1-Tyson

    2-Foreman

    3- Clay i can´t see him IN THE 175-190 RANGE beating a 226 POUNDER 18-19 years old AMATEUR-GREEN PRO FOREMAN AND MUCH LESS THE YOUNG EXPLOSIVE TYSON

    4-Frazier

    5-¿

    bowe was too green, lewis was a skinny spaguetti at 18, holmes was even a worse joke at 18, marciano even worse ,klitscko was a skinny kick boxer not even a boxer, maybe you have to pick a contender to find anyone really good that early in his career besides the guys i listed

    Here is your 6' 4" 212lb " stick of spaghetti " aged 18 boxing in the Los Angeles Olympics. Remind us again what were the so called greatest ever Heavy's stats. 6' 3" and 210. Was he also a stick of spaghetti?

    first of all lewis was 6´4 3/4, so yes, weighing 212 with this height is an spaguetti. ali was 6´3 210-214 . very different.
    foreman was 226-229 in the amateurr at 19

    Wrong.

    Lewis was 6' 4" as an 18 year old, he grew to 6' 5" ( Plenty believe his optimum fighting weight was 16st 6lbs, or 230 if you prefer as a pro due to his much bigger frame when fully grown ) So prime Ali was 1 inch shorter, and either 2 lbs lighter or 2 lbs heavier, yet you think one was a stick of spaghetti, and the other was the perfect specimen.:roll::roll:

    lewis had different frame than ali, he looked more a spaguetti, ali in relation to his size had more robust legs, lewis had longer arms also, he looks an octopus at 212. it is not just the weight but the frame, curiously foreman looked robust even at 214 or 217, his bones were robust, the same with marciano

    Good call.

    The guy was being talked about as the best available challenger for Jeffries, while he was still a teenager.
