    i totally agree. Rocky was good but IMO no means great. there are so many fighters i know he couldn't last with. Ali,holmes,frazier,L.lewis,J. louis,Holyfield,tyson,liston, jack johnson, and many more. He was tough and came at a good time, but not in my top ten

      You strange poster you.


      That list at the bottom was not my top 10 it wasnt supose to my rankings. I started the post typing a list of fighters he has fought and beaten. I didnt mean to keep it up there i must of pushed down and didnt see it to delete who cares. Still my point is he is a top 10 heavy weight. he should be there on any real top 10 list.

        In today rules probably not. Ali yea on points sure. Holmes i am not so sure about that. Holyfield i highly doubt that in what rules todays or then? Holyfield couldnt go 15 rounds with rocky coming at him punching and punching. Neither could liston. In todays rules i can name a few fighters who could out score and probably stop him do to cuts and what not.

              The guy was only 185lbs .... of course he wouldn't last against Lewis. If they had him fighting now, in his weight class, and not against today's heavy weights, he would still be a great boxer. Some of these boxers today would have forty-plus pound weight advantages on him. He fought quite a few guys that had fifteen pounds on him, and he beat them all. I think he's definitely a great fighter, and easily deserving to be in the top ten, and even the top five.

                yes many forget that if marciano had been fighting now he would have either been about 210 (modern nutrition and/ore steroids) ore he would hve been a lightheavy.
                either way he would hve been great.

                    Top 3 (and it's really not up for debate)

                    Ali
                    Louis
                    Johnson

                    I'll come up with 7-10 later.

                      Cruiserweight. If you havnt seen rocky fight he takes alot of punishment as he did in Jersy joe(1) But the thing that amazed me even going down and getting beat round after round. The man wouldnt stop he just punched and punched then in the 13th round BOOM. The rematch was even better. Archie hit rocky with a awsome combo but the rock just came and came and knocked down archie 5 times before the night was over in the 9th. in todays boxing if a fighter took any half the punishment rock had taken it would be over i'll say that. **** if a fighter lands a flush punch stumbling a fighter the ref will call it.
