Most of the forum can generally agree that Ali Louis Lewis Marciano Liston Tyson Frazier Holmes Foreman Johnson Dempsey Wlad Vitali Jeffries Bowe Are for the most part the top 15 HWs ever (that’s not my order either) but who are the next 15 up? Usually it’s men who could upset anyone of these guys any given night use your own criteria.
I’ll kick it off Holyfield Baer Quarry Byrd Archie Bonavena Walcott Charles Patterson Norton Harold Johnson (I know you’re shocked) Zorra Machen Ingemar Tunney This to is in no particular order and wanted Mcvea in there but couldn’t squeeze him
15. Bowe 16. W Klitschko 17. V Klitschko 18. Tunney 19. Langford 20. Walcott 21. Charles 22. Schmeling 23. Norton 24. Sullivan 25. Young 26. Witherspoon 27. Fury 28. Lyle 29. Joshua 30. Ibeabuchi
Yes, some people give be a bit if crap for including active fighters, as their stock could rise or (more likely) fall dramatically in a short space of time. But I don't mind; I'm a teacher, so people thinking that I'm a complete twat is a big part of my everyday job.
Wills and mcvea I wanted to put in but couldn’t do it I’d say the biggest name I left off was Langford...I have a very poor opinion of pre 1930s fighters actually I need to rewrite this to include Tunney grrrr
also list is up for debate lol I was satisfied with about ten of them and then the last five was definitely contemplating Schmeling, Mcvea, Wills, Langford, exc
