Who was the best white heavy weight?

[StarshipTrooper]

Are you serious??

Why is Vitali rated higher than Wlad?
Wlad has twice the resume of Vitali.

Maybe beacuse Vitali is twice the fighter?

Indeed...the display Vitali showed against Lewis....that single fight shatters Wlads resume

He also practically went out of his way to avoid the larger rated Heavyweights of his day.

Wasn't much around in his day for sure but I think he fought who he should, few guys missing from his resume but IMO opinion they were timing issues rather than ducks

And in truth you can do that with practically any ATG fighter other than maybe Ali. You can peruse any great champions resume and find guys he could have fought but didn't.

Rocky Marciano

His undefeated Record(49-0) with a very high percentage of KO wins
remains unequalled up to present time.

I've gotta go Dempsey more skilled as a boxer, as for Rocky he is questionable. Undoubtedly a good fighter, you've gotta believe the mob bought him a few of those wins.

Without hard evidence I don't "gotta believe" anything at all. Gossip doesn't feed the bulldog.

technically, as has been reported in many books, Marciano was not undefeated as a pro. Not exactly the same as what DarkOrchid is saying but still...

Reminds me of a favourite joke of mine

The professor answered, "Let me give you an example. Do you own a weed eater?"

"I sure do," answered the redneck.

"Then I can assume, using logic, that you have a yard," replied the professor.

"That's real good," the redneck responded in awe.

The professor continued, "Logic also tells me that since you have a yard, you also have a house."

Impressed, the redneck shouted, "GAWL-LEEE!!"

"And since you own a house, and a house is tough to take care of by yourself, logic dictates that you have a wife."

"Betty Mae! This is incredible!" (Bubba is obviously catching on.)

"Finally, since you have a wife, logically I can assume that you are heterosexual rather than ****sexual," said the professor.

"You're absolutely right! Why that's the most fascinatin' thang I ever heard of. I can't wait to take this here logic class."

Bubba, proud of the new world opening up to him, walked back into the hallway where Cooter is still waiting.

"So what classes are ya takin?" he asks.

"Math, history, and logic," replies Bubba.

"What in tarnation is logic?"

"Let me give you an example. Do ya own a weed-eater?"

"No."

"You're a *****, ain't ya?"
