Top 10 Heavyweights all-time - Head to Head

[TheGreatA]

What stood out the most to me was the difference in the size of the gloves. Check it out again and look at the little gloves Vitali has on compared to the ones Ali used. I know he is a big dude but there is a massive difference
what would happen if Ali got tagged with a Lewis thundering right with those little gloves?
Lights out I think

Ali was hit by Liston, Foreman, Frazier, Lyle, Norton and Shavers.

200 lb Mavrovic, McCall and Ray Mercer took Lewis' best shots and smiled back at him (well, in McCall's case, cried).

It could happen but I personally think it's unlikely. Ali could take a punch better than just about anyone I've ever seen in boxing.

I came across this list on another site.

It's sort of a pound for pound Heavyweight list of all-time, consisting of putting any Heavyweight against another to see who will come out on top.

I disagree with much of the list and order the boxers are in.

There are some suprises i assure you. What are your thoughts on this? Care to make a list of your own?

Tyson at #9...that is EFFING LUDICROUS!!! Bowe at 2?? Ok now we are just heading into the plain all ******ed…can’t argue with #1 though…

Take a punch better then Hagler?

Take a punch better then Hagler?

I can't say who took a punch better since it can't be measured.

Ali took more punishment in his career than Hagler did though.

Aside from Hagler's fights with Mugabi and Hearns, two big punchers from lighter weight classes, he was usually able to block and avoid almost every punch thrown at him.


Liston


Foreman


Shavers


Frazier

errm they used smaller gloves in ali's time dude

and ali had one of the best chins of all time, he took foremans shots for 8 rounds FFS, only got TKO'd once when he was really shot

i'd bet on a prime ali beating any heavyweight in history

i read that list, the writer knows f u c k all about boxing and basically uses size as the deciding factor in all his ****** little matchups

6. Vitali
7. Bowe
