If you can get these two books. Both put the era's and competition into great perspective. You may not change your mind about where you rate SRR, and thats fine, but you'll have a greater understanding and appreciation of two guys who undoubtedly (in my opinion) belong at the very least in the p4p top 5 all time.

Dude, we're cool and all but that some frankenfrank type stuff right there.

[UglyPug]

Ali, Louis, Lewis, , Marciano, Dempsey,Holyfield, Wladimir Klitschko, Foreman, Tunney, Vitali Klitschko,Frazier

My top 11. . . Based on a combination of accomplishments and who would win based on completely subjective opinion. . . I simply can't see anybody aside from Ali and Lewis clearly having a chance of beating the Klitschko Brothers

Funny, but at one point in the 1930s people were saying the similer things about Primo Carnera.....and we know how that movie ends.

I will give you some credit for compiling a list of 100 HW's..... that is a great effort, but, I can't get over that top 10.............. I think you are having me on, this is not like any HW list I've ever seen......... it's a very original list.

-Lennox is top ten on most reasonable lists.
-Foreman is top 10 on everyones list
-Schmelling is definitely top 20, beat Prime Joe Louis
-John L is top 10, The Moses of Heavyweights
-Baer killed motha****as, thats why. Literally.
-Liston was a destroyer

-Holyfield is a cheater inside and out. Headbutts, Roids, etc.

-Ali got full marks in all criteria except for POWER, just missed it.

-Marciano fought too many old &/or small guys. Then retired at 32.

-Tunney and Dempsey are practically the same size, age, weight and Dempsey still couldnt win. Sorry.

- Fitz is better than Jeffries. Fitz was old and outweighed by 40 lbs when they fought. Prime Fitz smokes him.

-Frazier is good but not better than those guys.

-Mccall never been down or stopped

-paddy slavin has a losing record lol

-Need more video of Peter Jackson and his opponents

-Stribling: 250 fights and only loss 1 by KO(Schmelling)

Yes this is a real list with a consistent formula. Punching Power, Quality opponents, Quality of Era, Dominance, Accomplishment. Punching power is weighted heavily. If Ali had it he couldve ended fights a lot sooner and may be a healthier man today.
