    Jimmy Young was better than Marciano but not quite good enough for this list

    why not Chris Warren?

    I think hes better than Tyson offensivly and hes black so he must be better by your logic.

    what about Tony Thomson he really took teh fight to Wlad and nearly beat him

    Wlad has one of the most effective offenses in the history of the heavyweight division. Other factors prevent him from being considered in the very elite of the division's history.

    Ali also stated Shavers hit harder than Foreman. I am also a Marciano fan, by the way.

    Joe Louis was a great body puncher, he probably worked the body more consistently than both Tyson and Foreman.

    However the two best offensive fighters of all time were Chris Arreola and John Ruiz.

    I'll go with Tyson. Louis is close, but I say Tyson.

    The funny thing about this "sarcastic" statement is Arreola is arguebably the best offensive fighter in the division today with terrific two fisted power and some serious finishing ability.

    Arreola, the best offensive fighter in the division today. Over Wlad, Haye, and Vitali?

    :rofl

    My thoughts exactly. Of those three, I'd say Wlad is probably the best in the sense of completeness, though both Haye and Vitali have their own particular strengths. Haye has huge one-punch power and can quickly load up on a big shot, while Vitali is very good at overwhelming his opponents with his workrate and can punch surprisingly well at short range for such a gangly boxer.

    The best offensive boxer of all time was Joe Louis.

    Im going with 80's Tyson and 70's Foreman--what Big George did to Frazier was just jaw dropping and really embarassing for Smokin Joe
