        Greb, Tunney, Marciano (very overrated) and Pep were among the best.

        And I think Vitali would hold his own with any heavyweight in history.

        Historically the best boxers have been men of mixed African-American and white (Ali, Tyson, Louis, etc). They seem to be on average more athletic than either whites or Africans.
        yes i agree

            As long as it isnt turned into a serious and ugly racial discussion that gets out of control...I dont think there is any dispute with WILLIE PEP being the best...looking at his record it is very possible to name him as the best boxer EVER of ALL boxers (Sugar Ray Robinson said so, too)...

                I think the races should just be the main categorys: White, Black, Yellow?
                and duran is brown not white ...lol
