    Dempsey over Louis? I can't agree with that. What's your reasoning.

    most people don't. Although H2H it makes sense to maybe have Dempsey beat Louis. hes got a punchers chance.

    i choose the best heavies at their peak. who would beat who at their ultimate peak.

    1. Ali - 65-67 version was sublime and speed and movement has never been surpassed.

    Tyson i rate high cuz the 86-88 version could take many ATG's out in 2 rounds. Forget the guy after jail v Holyfield. Tyson was finished as a great in the 80s. Ali 60s etc.. At the end of the day, Foreman, Dempsey, Liston always have the punchers chance to take you out and Lewis, Holmes, Tunney always have the boxers chance. Very hard to compare. Taking peak performances Ali v Williams/Terrell, Tyson v Berbick/Spinks, Dempsey v Willard, Foreman v Frazier have to be at the top of the list. They destroyed their top opponents whereas others had to go through hell to win.
