Who's Your "3"At Heavyweight?

I have Holmes/Lewis on my 3-4 tier...I guess I would go with Holmes.

 

Frazier, marciano,Holmes and lewis must be ranked above Tyson and i think that it is not even a debate

 

Lewis. Tbh I can only see actually cases which I'd entertain for Holmes or Lewis.

 

Jersey Joe?

 

He's only one of the Greatests, that's all, one of the Greatest...

his perseverance, fortitude, skill and excellence carried him to Victories over dozens of great fighters & champions, he also 'lost' in some Q'd results against his great peers.

lastly, you do realise when comparing fighters it is supposed to go without saying that they are paired Prime & Peak, and in that reality, Jersey Joe Walcott Sits, Wins and loses absolutely commendably with any Heavyweight in History.

Heavyweight, not S-HWs as I categorically class them as different animals, because of the aforementioned HEIGHT & REACH.

 

George Foreman / Joe Frazier

 

Holmes for me is pretty save #3. Close to a 49 - 0, but beating young challangers getting old himself, as well as having 20 of these fights for the title. Got up from atomic bombs with tons of grit and heart. Compare that with Ali losing to Norton (arguably twice) and Louis losing to Schmeling.... Therefore I have no idea how someone can pick Rocky over him.
Lewis comes close to Holmes, but its a question how to count these two sloppy KO-losses. So I see a reason putting Lewis lower than 4 maybe.

 

Ali , Holmes, Louis?
Ali, Louis,Lewis,
Ali, Lewis,Louis,
Ali, Lewis, Holmes,
Ali, Louis, Holmes.
Theirs only one constant of the 4,
The other 3 are interchangeable in
my opnion, though Lewis and Louis would
Lose this most in a round Robin or head to head
Scenario if each fighter fought every fighter in
In the top 10 ATG's.

 

Marciano, and imo the only people who can reasonably be argued over him are Foreman and Holmes, whom make up my 4-5 respectively.

 

Holmes.

 

Holmes, Wlad or Marciano - long reigning dominant champs.

 

Shocked at all the Holmes picks...I’m sure Wlad will be looked at in the same prism in twenty years.
Picked Marciano and /or Lewis but depending on the day could have been Liston, Foreman, Or Holmes.
