    Yet Kovalev would destroy crude and limited Dempsey. And easily so.

    Based on what? Which greats has Kovalev destroyed?

    Dempsey beat the great hw contenders of his era bar Wills and based on the latest footage ****ysis he'd had crushed him as well.

    I'd favour Kovalev now to defeat Wilder and win a Heavyweight belt. :hey

    The only ones I can see above Wlad are Ali, Louis, Lewis, Foreman and Holmes. If Wlad wins some more fights, he can get inside the Top4.

    I think that his career would be rounded if he reaches 20 title defenses (25 if you count his previous WBO belt reign) and if he unifies. In order to achieve that, he needs three more fights and one of those would have to be against Wilder.

    So, are you able to name any of those "great" heavyweights yourself?

    French pilot? Fireman Jim?

    But do you think 90% of this forum could list 10 to 20 in the best of all time without including Wilder and Tyson Fury. :think
