    Holmes
    McCallum (it's turning tho)
    Pryor (also turning or turned)
    Vitali
    Tua
    Mugabi
    Witherspoon
    Dempsey
    Tunney (at heavyweight)

    I'll think or more.

    Guys like Tyson, Marciano, Frazier and so many others have just as many dumping on them as championing them so it sorta balances out.

    Sounds like "Iron" Mike Tyson to me.

    Pre 70s boxers for my money. Every sports improved, every measurable sport improved, chess has vastly improved - the chess computer tells us this. Yet some people think boxers haven't

    But is that really true of Iron Mike? Berbick, Tubbs, Smith, Bruno, and Tucker were all champs or champs-to-be. Holmes was an ATG, though five years past his prime. Spinks was the first light-heavy to win the heavyweight champ, and Holmes was only a few years past his prime at the time.

    Yes but he’s had a lot of pro fights, look at someone like Ali who’s also had a high number of fights but still has a lot of huge names in his resume. You listed 7 people and Tyson’s had 58 fights, he mainly faced bums

    European minor world titlists, predominantly from Germany, are massively overrated on this forum... by just one poster.

    Just be thankful there's no footage of the actual apex of the lightheavies - the 1940s...

    Albanian mafia...very dull people in whose country some people in the mountains live in stone houses and caves. These are the Illyrians and they, like the Vlachs, live mainly on the highest peaks in the mountains in great poverty.
    Due to poverty, they flee to Switzerland, from where they return for the holidays with expensive cars and their lobby and mafia are very powerful. Mostly those mountains in the Balkans where I am from towards Albania, Romania, Bulgaria and Macedonia have small villages on the very tops of the mountains and live very poor. Don't be surprised that Albanians are like that.

    You have Henry Maske at no. 3 all time at light heavyweight. The defence rests.

    I stand corrected - you actually had him at no. 4.

    No, you halfwit - rating him at no. 4 is no less absurd and that's the point.

    And I know your list was a lot longer - it's why your division lists didn't make it into Rummy's final tallies - thank ****.
