your top 10 prime heavyweights history.

what does this mean, top ten prime heavies? the head to head best in their prime versions? or is this legacy based?

 

I can understand the exclusion of Tyson. I mean after all there's barely any footage on him at all.

 

Assuming it's H2H

1. Louis
-. Ali
3. Lewis
4. Tyson
5. Frazier
6. Foreman
7. Liston
8. Holmes
9. Holyfield
10. Bowe

 

It's how I rank anyways.

I think it's somerhing like this

Ali
Louis
Lewis
Holyfield
Tyson
Liston
Foreman
Frazier
Holmes
Bowe

 

Anybody who has Marciano on his list is a idiot and shouldn't be taken serious. Any person who has Frazier on their list when Foreman beat him 2 times is a idiot and you shouldn't pay them any mine. Any person who has Joe Louis on their list doesn't know boxing and it just repeating what somebody else said. Name on person he beat who was even as good as Shannon Briggs. I don't mean who was more popular I mean better.

In No particular order the list should be

Lennox Lewis
George Foreman
Joe Frazier
Riddick Bowe
I would put Holyfield but who did he beat? A washed up Holmes and Foreman? A Michael Moorer who nobody respects? A Tyson that most of you people will claim he was past his prime?

 

h2h, not legacy

I hate to say this but I think he beats Joe Louis. Maybe even by KO.

I think Joe was was the greatest champion in all of sport. Forget about Bill Russell. The champion of boxing for 11 years KO'ing all comers.

I never cared to study his fights but from what I read and heard he seemed to be unbeatable in his prime. Greatmovement, good power and excellent boxing skill together with inner toughness.

perfect fighter. Could move, great stanima, good power, great chin, and superb defense. Ring smart and confidence.

A tiger and a fox. However he had great boxing skill in his prime along with wick power and killer instinct.

Power, power, and toughness. Solid chin and underated skill.

Great power and skill. Other than slip ups never beaten in his career. extremely smart and calucating fighter.

All-time heart overcame fighters who on paper should have destroyed him.

Power and underrated skill. He took on all styles and over came them...by KO.

Mike is on this list because he cleaned out the division and defended his title 9 times. I respect that.

11. Ezzard Charles: Took on all comers and defended his title 9 times. Former middleweight went the 27 rounds with Rocky and KO'ed Walcott. Had he beaten Maricano once I would have put him as the greatest fighter of all-time. Which he might be anyway.

 

I see lists with Bowe on them and no johnson... Jesus H. Christ...
