Top 10 Heavies from best to worst

[StarshipTrooper]

wow, Peter Jackson had some genuinely tough opponents and pulled it off. Especially the TKOs of Lewis and Foreman.

Peter Jackson is something of a forgotten fighter but he IS one of the greats. He fought out of Australia a few years before Fitzsimmons started fighting Heavyweights. His knickname was "The Black Prince" and I forget where in Australia he's buried.

Guys, I believe this thread is the premier thread on NSB. This is Boxing Scene at it's best and I believe it should be made a sticky so new members can see what NSB is REALLY all about! Special thanks go out to Hawkins, Hurricane, The Iron Man, and The Brockton Lip for making this thread the great thread that it is!

I should probably explain that! I mark as upset any fight where the lower seed beats the higher, seeding based on how TBII ranks them.

Yeah man, he is one of my favorite historical boxing figures. He also fought Jim Corbett before Corbett got the crown.
