who is the greatest of all time? vote.

As far as pure Boxers go, Tommy Hearns is up there. As in James Toney circa 90-93.

 

I voted for The Man in the poll. That would be SRR, of course.

 

Did just that :good

 

Pretty much this.

I'd go with Armstrong personally -- knocked off the top man in three divisions within a matter of 10 months, with several notable wins inbetween.

 

Dempsey gets an HM but Ali doesnt? Come off it now Burt

 

If you look at who he fought Greb wins this, his record is amazing

Robinson for ability and skills Langford close to Robinson aswell, and of course the old master Joe Gans his skill was unbelievable.

 

How about the complete exclusion of Henry Armstrong.

The question posed is best fighter P4P J. Did I include Jack Dempsey as my top six .??? No. So why chastise me ? I included Greb, Robinson, Benny Leonard [Robby's equal as a LW], Langford, Armstrong,and ole Fitz...
P4P a heavyweight as 215 pound Ali was, wasn't as good all around as a Sugar Ray Leonard ,who could do as a WW more than Ali because of his "sharper"
punching...If Clay/Ali was not charismatic as he was, he wouldn't be called
"the greatest HWT of alltime" IMO. A chap named Joe Louis has that distinction...Louis eviscerated his division for 12 years,leaving his opponents prone on the canvas...Ali did not do this, though Ali had better
opposition...Cheers...

 

JM, I wasn't the poster that included "honorable mention "...Some other
poster !

 

put this in the general forum..and 1/3 will say ali..the other 2/3rd will ***** about either Pac or Mayweather not being on the list....maybe one or two will ***** about Roy Jones not being on it....

 

Burt, its in post 4 by yourself mate

 

You never mentioned Armstrong, although im sure it was just an easy oversight. Ive no beef with the fighters you picked, none whatsoever, but i do find it strange that you pick Dempsey as an HM (which you DID, just check your post) and omit Ali. Im not chastising you, just an honest observation my good man.

 

Probably because Dempsey was better 'pound for pound', beating up much bigger men etc.

 

maybe so. I personally wouldnt agree. I dont think many would but thats just my opinion, i may be wrong
