POLL: One heavyweight who would rule them all in any era

[MANGLER]

No 1 HW I can say would beat anybody in any era, but if I had to pick from the list I'd say Holyfield. In his prime he was a ****in warrior. Nobody whose style I'd say was a foil that he absolutely could not conceivably beat.

[KostyaTszyu44]

ali or prime holyfield

[Abstraction]

I'd say Lewis is the worst guy there after Klitschko, how he has got 5 votes is beyond me, doesn't say much about this forum does it.

[cassiusthegreat]

come on seriously.Jack johnson and vitali klitschko are on the list but larry holmes isn't?

there are alot of guys on that list who would have done well in any era

[Madvillain]

Big George Foreman, name an era where he wouldn't be the champion.

[smirf123]

Come on now. Lennox was king of his own domain for sure, but do guys really think this big, lumbering, aerobically challenged fighter has what it takes to survive in Ali's era? Can you visualize a fight between him and young George Foreman?

yh spot on he was the best of a medioka era tyson was finished when he fought him. He wouldnt have won a world title in the golden age of boxing.

Yep


I would have to go with Ali and Holyfield too.

[Burning Desire]

Obviously Muhammad Ali will be the favorite but i pick Larry Holmes, he had it all great jab, great chin, great boxing skills, great heart, great stamina, ETC. And he wasn't a small Heavyweight either so he wouldn't be a small Heavyweight in any era.

[1SILVA]

He was the smartest fighter in the history of boxing. Even if a fighter was faster or more powerful, Ali would figure out a way to defeat him. As you can see by the poll, he undoubtedly would have ruled in any era!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mersey]

Lennox Lewis, he got all round skills to beat anybody on the list.
