    Goerge Foremans top 10

    top ten heavyweights all time
    Joe Louis.
    To be honest with you, number two is way off. Joe Louis is in a
    class by himself.
    Rocky Marciano.
    Just look at Rocky Marciano's record. Nobody beat him. You can't
    take that from him.
    Jack Johnson.
    A big brave cat, because he'd do whatever he wanted and get out of
    the way.
    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.
    Joe Frazier.
    Only because he depended solely on his left hook do I rate Joe
    Frazier below Marciano. Marciano could hit with both hands.
    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.
    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.
    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.
    Floyd Patterson.
    The First Two-Time Heavyweight Champion of the World.
    Evander Holyfield.
    For standing up to Mike Tyson

        Holmes should be there in place of Evander. Holmes had Shavers, Norton, Ali, Cooney, etc.

        Evander had Tyson, Bowe and lost to Lewis.

            No. Tyson was shot by the time Lewis got to him. Lewis was great....but not THAT great. I already gave my reasons why Holmes should be there over Evander.

              Lewis achieved far more than tyson did.

                I think it has to do with the way Tyson dispatched his opponents. The speed and power of his punches were something Lewis did not face in the old Tyson. When you think of Lewis' prime years, you see methodical boxing skills. When you see Tyson's prime years, you see a slaughter.

                  Yeah thats it, Lewis was methodical, Tyson was spontaneous. Prime Tyson beats a prime Lewis everytime.
