Building the Perfect Heavyweight Boxer....

You didnt even mention a Tyson attribute in yours. damn:lol1: I probably should have, I love Mike but his tendancy to be intimidated cannot be overlooked. Maybe his combination punching was the best at one time.

Perfect Heavyweight boxer would have Johnsons ability to capitalise on opponents mistakes Dempseys ferocity Louis's punching accuracy Marcianos heart/determination Alis chin Tysons power and handspeed

The perfect HW champ would only need: Alis foot speed Tysons viciousness/hand speed Oliver McCalls chin James Toney defense W.Klit left and Right

I like your list better, especially the Jimmy Young defense part. You didnt even mention a Tyson attribute in yours. damn:lol1:

Ok thats easy.A 86' Tyson.

And Mayweather jr's. chinchilla trunks even though he's not a heavyweight.

id take roy jones with tex cobb chin over any man that ever lived

i think as far as body build goes, lennox lewis early-mid career was a great specimen. broad shoulders, strong base, w/ a trim waistline. lots of guys who are that tall just don't have the frame to naturally hold that much weight, they either look too bulky or just flabby. example, shannon briggs is just about the same height as lewis, but even when he weighed in at a relatively low 230lbs, the guy looked over-muscled. all the way up to 238 for the mccall fight, lewis still looked lean, cut, and well-proportioned.

Chuvalo's Chin James Toney counterpunching and D. Valuevs size Shavers Power Ali hand and footspeed Frazier conditioning Holys heart. Toney's defense is very poor against fast guys who circles him, because his footwork was never the best in this dicipline. Ali for exampe would rip him apart. His counterpunching often relied on taking a shot to the back,rip,shoulder instead of evading. I take Mayweather in this part, their defense style is similar but pretty boy got the better feet.

holyfield's heart ali's willpower dempsey's balls frazier's left hook dempsey's shovel hook marciano's suzie q tyson's uppercut liston's jab ali's speed patterson's jumping hook lewis' physique / size louis' combinations toney's reflexes briggs' hairstyle liston's demeanour chuvalo's chin baer's looks (no homo) tyson's intimidation ali's aura

Chuvalo's Chin James Toney counterpunching and D. Valuevs size Shavers Power Ali hand and footspeed Frazier conditioning Holys heart.

Better still, why not try it with the current heavies and see if we can make a boxer who could compete in another era I'll start - Tua's chin....... Holy's heart......

My perfect hw: Valuev's size Foreman's punching power Ali's speed and ring skills Holyfield's endurance and heart That's all you need for the perfect hw; he'd be unstoppable...

You have to strut like one of the guys in my sig too. Doesn't matter which. I can admit Wlad is the best offensively gifted fighter I have ever seen. The Intangibles are lacking though.

ibeabuchi was a fuckin beast

Tyson's uppercuts. Tyson's finishing skills. Louis's combinations. Chuvalo's chin. Ali's footspeed and ability to absorb body shots. Frazier's left hook, bodypunching, and stamina. Valuev's size. Patterson's hand speed. Foreman's raw power. Lewis's right cross. Shavers's overhand right. Holmes's jab. Marciano's will and ability to fight through pain, cuts, etc... Young's defense. I like your list better, especially the Jimmy Young defense part.

Strictly in the ring...Ike Ibeabuchi.

Tyson's uppercuts. Tyson's finishing skills. Louis's combinations. Chuvalo's chin. Ali's footspeed and ability to absorb body shots. Frazier's left hook, bodypunching, and stamina. Valuev's size. Patterson's hand speed. Foreman's raw power. Lewis's right cross. Shavers's overhand right. Holmes's jab. Marciano's will and ability to fight through pain, cuts, etc... Young's defense.

Mercer's chin Morrison's looks, power and toughness, Lewis's size and athletic ability. Ali's Speed Mercers chin is overrated imo. Cobb took Shavers bomb until Shavers was just tired of hitting him and got stopped. Holyfield could never drop Cobb.

Valuev with Mayweather's speed,defense and especially the shoulder roll would be funny. Imagine a smaller guy who tries to hit him while he bends back.^^
