    Despite his little rehearsed rap speech there, Mike is not the greatest HW. His resume is not up to snuff. Too many blemishes, not enough good names. The clip actually shows that at times, he is one confused and delusional person, almost borderline schizophrenic.

    Agreed... unless we are talking H2H he shouldn't even be mentioned in this thread

    I've only been watching boxing since the late 80's so I can only comment in my lifetime, and I think without a doubt during that time period it was Evander Holyfield, of course i'm sure alot of people on ESB would agree with me that Joe Calzaghe is a close second.:patsch

    Ali and Louis a clear top two, and for me Ali is the number 1. Better resume.

    You make a good point, i think some peoples judgement are clouded by facts you mentioned, i have to admit the guy had heart and great speed before he got stripped of the title and is in my top 5 of all time

    Between Louis and Ali. I have a hard time deciding at the moment and I often change my mind.
