HW Champ: Muhammad Ali (on his best night he beats them all)

1. Joe Louis (only Ali could beat him)

2. Larry Holmes (Frazier and Liston give him nightmares)

3. Sonny Liston (other than Ali, Louis, and Holmes, I favor nobody against a PRIME Liston)

4. George Foreman

5. Joe Frazier

6. Lennox Lewis

7. Evander Holyfield

8. Jack Johnson (criminally underrated H2H)

9. Vitali Klitschko

10. Mike Tyson

Assuming that each is at his best I have hard time keeping Bowe out of the top five. In shape and focussed he could have been the GOAT. Ali definitely first because size becomes pretty irrelevant. Lennox a close second. I'm surprised there's no Marciano. I think he could do well in a tourney type set up.

Wladimir Klitschko can box but he cant fight. He himself admitted this. He wont last on the inside against Lennox, Vitali, or Foreman. Bastards who can throw full power uppercuts while in the clinch.

Sonny Liston? Although hes 1 of my favourites he would get beat by lewis, foreman and probably klitchko. Bowe would give him trouble too, dont think he belongs on this list

maybe top 20, i think marciano may have gave the small boxers (ali, holmes) quite alot of trouble, he was relentless but with those big boxer punchers and sluggers foreman, lewis etc i think he would get blown away

[Ray Corso]

I just realized the OP of the thread has "BOTH" Bros in the top ten?????

REALLY, are you on drugs?? Damn give me some of those things so I can make believe I could beat Dempsey.......................and Louis...............................in the same night!! Both??? Come on now! Ray












.........who's the OP here Mrs. Klitz Bros.????

[likeamulekick]

Joe Louis is to SMALL? At 6'2" 200lbs he hits harder than any of Klitz, Ali or Holmes. He puts "correct" combos together BETTER than any heavy ever!
Theres a reason he's considered the best ever by the experts and theres a reason the people who think they know the sport think the Klitz Bros are in the top ten all time heavies!! Because their "fans" which more than not says they know NOTHNG about boxing!!
Everyone has an opinion however what yor opinion is based on is what makes your opinion a "valid" one! Joe Louis would punch holes in the Klitz bros his punches would demolish them. Study the films and watch how each step to their opponents and then punch in combination! Compare jabs, movement, combos, power, defense, ring generalship!!! The Klitz are the modern day Max Baers except they don't hit as hard as he did!! Rid**** Bowe over Joe Louis.................really?? Mike Tyson would be afraid to fight Joe Louis, he quit on Evander do you think Evander hits harder than Joe? Ray.

Not really big fans of the klitchkos and i would love for an exciting fighter to come along to knock em out. Dont think they will do well in the GREATEST HW list but they are underated for how well they could do in past eras. They may not be the hardest punchers in history but they can definitly punch and punch well. There not like most super heavyweights, they are very lean for there size and know how to use that size to their advantage. i think louis could not get close enough to land those amazing combinations and wouldnt be strong enough in clinches........just too small

[Skittlez]

Joe Louis knocks out any heavyweight in history except Ali, and that fight is 55/45 for Ali in my opinion.

Lennox will beat Joe Louis bloody dude lol

Chances slim for sure. Guys like Wlad, Lewis and Tyson would give him a punchers chance due to their chins. I was just surprised at no mention. I think Holmes and Ali would wide decision Rocky but rough.
