Marciano is #6 on my list.

[Hard Boiled HK]

Here is George Foreman's List of Top 10 Heavyweights:

1. Joe Louis.
To be honest with you, number two is way off. Joe Louis is in a
class by himself.
2. Rocky Marciano.
Just look at Rocky Marciano's record. Nobody beat him. You can't
take that from him.
3. Jack Johnson.
A big brave cat, because he'd do whatever he wanted and get out of
the way.
4. Muhammad Ali.
Put him down as the GREATEST MAN to ever box, and a hero
bigger than boxing. Once Ali lost his speed, it only showed that
he'd never developed a great defense.
5. Joe Frazier.
Only because he depended solely on his left hook do I rate Joe
Frazier below Marciano. Marciano could hit with both hands.
6. Jack Dempsy.
Jack Dempsy's very name means strength and courage. Other than
Joe Louis, there is not a name in boxing or in sports with more
meaning.
7. Mike Tyson.
A phenomenon. What Mike Tyson was able to do with his speed of
hand and punching power is as phenomenal as what Muhammad
Ali did when he was Cassius Clay with speed of feet. Tyson
deserves to be in the top ten; this is where I put him, the
youngest man to become Heavyweight Champion of the World.
8. Sonny Liston.
If Sonny Liston truly had not lost his cool, had not underestimated a young Cassius Clay; and kept the same mind set that he had as a contender, history would have been a lot kinder to him. Sonny Liston could not believe Muhammad Ali was so fast and had so much courage. It just made him fall apart.
9. Floyd Patterson.
The First Two-Time Heavyweight Champion of the World.
10. Evander Holyfield.
For standing up to Mike Tyson


As you see, I didn't make the list...

The first time around, George Foreman was too mean and too crude.

The second time around, too sophisticated and too publicity conscious to
exploit his power...

Honorable Mention (Alphabetically ordered)

* Max Baer
* Ezzard Charles
* Jersey Joe Walcott

I have Marciano fourth.

[Mike Tyson77]

np m8

he isnt my favorite either but i think its damn disrespectful to try and say he wasnt great.....nobody could beat him....what more can you ask from the guy?
larry holmes cryed like a baby when he couldnt beat the rocks record and it seems a lot of people here feel the same.........rockys record will stand for a long time

A K for you.

Someone with some sense around here.


But sadly, it is endanger of being broken. By a 7 foot 320 pound Russian. We all know who he is, and he's 44-0. He's never been knocked down or hurt. But he hasnt fought tough foes like Marciano. If he keeps fighting people like Owen Beck, he might break it.

And he's only a belt holder, so it don't mean ****.

thanks man

damn i didnt realise he was 44-0

still now he will have to step up in opposition so he will get beat sooner or later.........
and he isnt regared as the true champ like rocky was

[Hard Boiled HK]

That guy is hard to beat though. I don't think Ali could beat him.

[Southpaw Stinger]

That guy is hard to beat though. I don't think Ali could beat him.

What? Larry Donald was schooling him! Ali would kill him!

[RockyMarcianofan00]

what you got to think about is somebody that monsterously big is always going to have the advantage...True if he were closer to a normal 6'3 or 6'2 he would probably be like 40-4 or something like that but Height is something that helped Lennox Lewis alot too...though I think Lewis had much more skill then Valuev...

According to Boxrec.com though Calvin Brock is the #1 contender (Valuev is 2 and Klitchko is 3)
