  • Heavyweights who beat prime World Class Opposition

    Let's look at Heavyweight Champions and assess their historical standing, on how/who they fought and defeated who was in their prime.

    example:
    Riddick Bowe defeated prime Holyfield (twice)

    George Foreman defeated prime Ken Norton, Joe Frazier ?. Michael Moorer

    Gene Tunney - Dempsey (twice), Harry Grebb (four)

    Jack Dempsey

    Mike Tyson

    Larry Holmes

    Sonny Liston

    etc

    I have to put Lennox Lewis up there. He beat off some good boys, and few think he sucked.

    Marciano fisted some good boys, prime boys, like LaStarza. He says he liked 'em, and we know he licked 'em.

    Ali licked, fisted and beat off the best opposition for years with plenty of foreplay.

    From this point onward the real mark of the best heavyweights will be when they beat an opponent into a sex change. There are a few who would have had sex changes but the operation was not available during their eras.

      Maybe you could list the "Prime Opponents" you think they beat:

      Lewis ?

      Marciano ?

      Ali ?

      Your last couple of paragraphs

        Lewis has to be high on the list, somewhere above Marciano but below Ali

            Dempsey was at least 5 years past prime probably nearer 7 and he hadn't fought for 3 years.
            But don't worry about it get back to Lewis which is the purpose of the thread

                  There's no need to list them, Lewis has his record in the hall of fame & is an atg
