Top 10 greatest heavyweight contenders

Bugner went 12 and 15 with Ali, 12 with Frazier in 12 with Lyle. He had a decent showing against Frazier and lost a SD to Lyle. I think that trumps anything Chisora has done.

Speaking of Lyle, he has an argument for top 10 inclusion I would think.

And for the record, I personally wouldn't include Bugner or Chisora in the top 10. There are way more fighters out there that I'm sure haven't even been mentioned yet before boiling this down to 10.

PS......Chisora went 12 with Fury in 2011 when he had only 14 fights. He was stopped two other times against him.[/QUOTE]

RE Bold:

He also went the distance with Whyte and Uysk and when Whyte and Fury stopped him later on, he still took them into the late rounds, 10th and 11th, respectively.

He did, but I don't think anyone what put those guys in the same sentence as Ali, Frazier and to a lesser degree Lyle.

Zora Folley? Has some good wins, fought in a stacked era.

Stacked like Nikkita Lyons and Taya Valkyrie. Or even Peyton Thomas. Just throw those names into your Google machine to see what I mean.

Ok then Peter Jackson as the Aussie and British empire champion. Those who saw him and Jack Jonson said Jackson was the better of the two by long odds ( Famous ref Siler on quote )

He beat cotenders in the Slavn, Maher, Dooley, D. Smith, Cardiff ( who really beat John L .Sullivan ), Maculiffe , Godfrey, and Lees. Impressivly drawing with Corbett and Goddard. All of whom had an impressive record. IMO, he belongs on any all time heavyweright contenders list. That my short case.

Who is Chisora's best win? I'd say Bugner's effort against Frazier is better than anything Chisora ever did.

- - I'd say prime Chisora does better against prime Frazier than the Bugs we saw vs past prime Frazier.
