Comments Thread For: The Top 15 Heavyweights Of All-Time

[Boxingfanatic75]

Not a bad list. First and foremost I think any list should be divided between the ancient eras and modern eras. Guys like Jack Johnson fighting in the 1800's were in a sport completely different than the late 20th century. Tunney never fought a Black fighter. All just totally different, so to mix guys like Johnson, Tunney, and Dempsey with guys like Lewis, Tyson, and Holyfield just makes no sense to me. That said, Holyfield should be above Foreman - as great as George was, he fought literally the worst competition in history (as far as W/L records of his opponents) on his rise up. He had two great wins vs. Norton and Frazier, one real solid win before that (Chuvalo? can't remember). Holyfield's 3rd title might as well have been lineal - George had been stripped, and then robbed vs. Briggs, so he should've technically still been lineal when he retired. I thought Savarese beat him anyway before that. Holyfield beat the best version of Foreman IMO (yes, better than George 1.0, and definitely best of 2.0) and then smoked Moorer after smoking Tyson. He was unquestionably the man at that point in 1996-1997, while Lewis was still rebuilding.

Holyfield was a mammoth steroid Goliath. He wouldn’t be half as good as he was against Heavyweights if it hadn’t been for his magic needle and his bull head. Holyfield is a fraud. Never liked him; never will.

Foreman oldest.. Louis holds the 10-0 rematch record etc..


Ali impressive in that he was 6-0 and would have had he beat Holmes.
