    Honorable mention to Ron Lyie. He was one of the better heavyweight. Great punch and was in the 1976 fight of the year ( Vs Foreman )

        yes ray mercer deserves a metion, evertime i see that fight he had with lewis, i'm amazed at just how good he was a that time, or how good he could have been

              That's only a few of the better heavyweight contenders throughout history, but there's been a number of others.
              great list..i think folley machen etc were not that good but i thought off the bat..langford lastarza wills norton......in another division billy petrolle

                Williams was even better than Lyle. It's a shame that his prime was cut short courtesy of a cop's bullet, because I think he really would have had a chance against Ali otherwise.
