Greatest Heavyweight Ever - If they fight BARE KNUCKLE

[Bald Shavers]

Who are the greatest heavyweights of all time if they fought bare knuckle. For the purposes of his thread do not include Sullivan. Only include Corbett and after.

Here are the greatest heavyweights ever if they fought bare knuckle like the rules used by Kimbo Slice in his bare knuckle fights (no grappling, no hitting below the belt, no groundfighting etc., very similar rules to the fights of John L. Sullivan).

1. Sonny Liston
2. Jack Johnson
3. Jim Jeffries
4. Evander Holyfield
5. Joe Louis
6. George Foreman
7. Earnie Shavers
8. Jack Dempsey
9. Max Baer
10. Mike Tyson
11. Rocky Marciano
12. Max Baer
13. Ken Norton
14. Muhammad Ali
15. Larry Holmes
16. Jersey Joe Walcott
17. Ridick Bowe
18. Joe Frazier
19. Lennox Lewis
20. Vitali Klitschko

What's your list?

1. Vitali Klitschko

dempsey, baer, Jeffries, etc pfft

Vitali would make mincemeat out of them

lol at those primitive undersized dinosaurs beating a genuine modern superheavyweight

one with REAL skills and an iron chin like Big Vit. they'd piss their pants just by looking at him

I'd favour Lennox against most of them too, he'd beat everyone on the list if it wasn't for his glass jaw

[creekrat77]

I agree with a lot of them.
Liston
Foreman
Marciano
Louis
Chuvalo
Tyson
Vitali
Tua
Holyfield
Dempsey
Max Baer
Oh yea and RJ Jr

[Larry the boss]

Like Kimbo Slice??? did you really just type that?

[Eff Pandas]

Foreman would be high on my list. He's just a big boned mfer & I bet his hands would hold up well bare knuckled which is gonna need to be a requirement. Tyson would be real good to I feel. Lennox would probably be a bare knuckle bum. I think Vitali would get f#cking destroyed physically & probably be one of those solid & respectable bare knuckle fighters who was boxing with one good eye & died at like 37 years old.

Tua hit like he had metal in his gloves

2nd mike cause of his great use of angles and combos
