Your top 5 best HW of all time

I knew it wouldn't be long - put yours up aswell Tommy - ps which bit were you laughing at I don't get it how could anyone not think Rocky was the best ever?? :tong

 

Where are you Tommy?? Do any other Marciano-haters out there want a pop aswell?? hehehe

 

SNV is so large that H2H he destroys Dempsey and Marciano with absolutely no trouble.

 

1) Ali
2) Louis
3) Frazier
4) Foreman
5) Jack Johnson

 

Yeah, the size difference is such that pure gravity defeats them. They would only helplessly orbit the great man; subject to his brutal but deadly accurate punches, like handicapped pinãtas to an expert sniper.

 

Stoppage wise is what the game is really is all about.

 

Spastic list by a spastic poster. Head to head, apparently, but you have men above other men who have beaten them, and the 'resume' one. How in any way has Holyfield got a better record than Ali? Foreman has a very poor record in comparison to Lewis in my opinion. It's all in all a ****ing joke, much like it's poster.

 

ali/lewis

then holmes, foreman, liston, louis and tyson fighting for the other 3 places

 

Ali
Louis
Holmes
Foreman
Lewis
Holyfield

The first two are interchangeable but majority of the time i'll put Ali over louis.

From Holmes to lewis again that is interchangeable buti tend to put foreman at number three in a majorityof cases.

Holyfield had to be on the list despite the thread starter asking for 5, holyfield has beaten too many good opponents to be forgoten about.

 

So true. :yep

 

I can't rate Rocky in the top two for the simple reason he isn't quite as tested nor has the depth of wins of either Ali or Louis. But he's as good a pick for number three as anyone else honestly imo, I'm a bit surprised so many people don't have him in the top 5 at all.

A lot gets made of Tyson and Liston cleaning out the division but Marciano did the same thing (against better top end quality) and had no real setbacks along the way.

 

If we only rate them on their prime level, then?

Ali obviously still stays high, as does Louis, but Tyson will come a-knocking as well. And Holmes may fall a bit.

 

True. The Rock do get underrated by some.

 

I rate Rocky around tenth. No higher,but certainly no lower.

 

See, I just think that's crazy (no offense amigo )

Who do you rank above him? Criteria? Neither Tyson nor Liston should be ranked above him imo (this is coming from one of the biggest Tyson and Liston fans on here), Marciano cleaned out a division just as they did, but beat better fighters. Walcott and Charles are better than anyone either of them ever beat (with the possible exception of Patterson for Liston, but his second best win isn't nearly as good). If you weigh h2h heavily it can be justified a bit more but I don't get how a guy WHO NEVER EVER LOST and beat two near peak top 20 all time heavyweights should get the shaft in fantasy head to head rankings.
