Boxing's Mount Rushmore?

[Willie Pep 229]

I like yours so far with Armstrong. Gotta have Robinson, the all time top pound for pound guy in there.

True on SRR - but you know how only presidents made it to Rushmore, maybe it should only be HW Champions. They are, despite it being wrong, the public face of the fight game.

Johnson
Dempsey
Louis
Ali

[The Big Dunn]

Muhammad Ali: "The Greatest."

Sugar Ray Robinson: "Pound for Pound."

Floyd Mayweather: Highest grossing prize fighter of all time.

Joe Louis: For his title defenses.



Might wanna replace Floyd with Henry Armstrong.

I was going to suggest Ali, Robinson, Louis and Armstrong. Would be ok if you had Jack Johnson or Pep instead of Louis.

Ali obviously has to be on there but I think it's a nightmare task to narrow down three other guys

Easy question. The four Mt. Rushmore fighters are:

Art "the toy tiger" Hafey
Wilbert "vampire" Johnson
Elmore "spider" Webb
"sailor" Tom Sharkey

[Willie Pep 229]

Another opinion . . .

Mt. Rushmore isn't about who were the greatest presidents it is about the four men who represented the ideals of America.

Independence; unity; the common man; the land.

It is not about who were the greatest fighters, it is about the four fighters who best represent the ideals of prize fighting.

Courage; self reliance; equality; character.

They are identified in that order in the OP.

[The Old LefHook]

Art Hafey for his heart, Vampire Johnson for his courage, Spider Webb for his brain and sailor Sharkey for his milking muscle.

So was Robinson when he was on top and Armstrong by holding 3 titles at once.

- -Been a blizzard more great fighters than great president.
