Take into account the standard of opponents they faced during their time!

does it makes a difference if the boxer is blakc, white or latino or any race?

we are coming to see boxing not to know which race is the strongest or something like that.

No, not at all, its just a question like who is the greatest british boxer???

Why do people always try and look for something that isn't there?

I suppose we could start talking about Nikolai Valuev in the same breath now as well.

One fighter I thought was very unlucky was Jerry Quarry, he ran into the likes of Ali, Frazier and Norton and would probably do well in todays era!

Joe Louis.

He looks kinda white. Especially against Walcott.

Obvious but Marciano!

Undefeated, rugged, exciting fighter!

Bob Fitzsimmonds deserves a mention becuase he was really a middleweight and was Britains (although he moved to Australia) only heavyweight champ for about 100 years!

Jack Dempsey, easily.

Quarry was my all time favorite and would be a Crusier king if he fought now.

are you asking in terms of accomplishments, skill, or if they were to fight each other, who would win???

3 different Questions....

Accomlishments - Rocky

Skill - I don't know.... tough call... Wlad has some crazy offencive skills and I don't think he is in his prime yet....

In terms of who would win, you can't put a 190LB, 5'11 Marciano with the Morrisons and the Klitschkos.... he wouldn't stand a chance

Just my opinion
