Is Joe Louis A Top 5 ATG?

[Southpaw Great]

Yes Or No and explain the reason behind your answer.

He would have a fair argument for being in the top five ATG heavyweight champions.

But overall, I could think of greater than four more deserving candidates from all the other weight divisions.

So no from me.

Tbh my top 5 / 10 can change from day to day but I don't think any HW has ever been in my top 5.

[SpecialOne]

no, i reckon top 2 heavyweight behind Ali though

guys like armstrong rank above him

I believe The Ring have him at no1.. I'd say he's top 10, but not quite top 5.. Off the top of my head, i'd have Pep, Wilde, Greb and Robinson ahead of him..
