How do you have Foreman ahead of Ali?

That **** makes no sense.

[baard]

Well, not because Foreman is a better boxer than Ali, but because of the way Foreman succesfully made his comeback and became the HW Champion again. To me Foreman is the reason why I am boxing right now. Ofcourse Ali is also great, and sure he is a better boxer than Foreman, but look who got the best of it now.

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.

No lightheavy actually.
he used to be at 185 only needs to dehydrate 10 too be at lightheavy.

Sounds like a lot but most lightheavy normaly weighs about 200 pounds.

considering the way they trained in the 40s 50s, I doubt marciano could take off another 10 pounds and still be able to fight the night after

hmm

Roy Jones was the best heavyweight ever and proved it by fghting the best heavyweight ever before him. Like Roy says:

"Don't hate me cuz you ain't me!"

Roy would have pulled game**** moves over Ali's tired ass and the ref would have had to save him. Luckily for Ruiz he had a hard head or the same would have happened to him.

Here is my top ten:

1. Liston
2. Ali
3. Louis
4. Johnson
5. Dempsey
6. Foreman
7. Fraizer
8. Marciano
9. (tie) Lewis
9. (tie) Tyson

and I will go ahead and admit it now- I may be a little biased with my choice with Liston at number one, but I really think Sonny may be the baddest man to ever walk the face of the earth. And if he hand't hit the deck in the rematch in Lewiston, then who knows how history would remember him?

Haha, yeah that Liston selection is pretty sketchy I guess. Basically my list is more of a popularity contest for me then it is an assessment of skill. But my justifaction for Tyson and not Holyfield is the fact that as good as Holy was, Tyson defined an era of heavyweight boxing (although it was reletively short and a transitional one)- top that off with the historical importance of the fact that he was the youngest heavyweight champion and I had to put him on the list. And in my eyes I could not justify putting him any higher then he was placed (despite all of what I just wrote above, haha). And as much as I felt like putting the Real Deal in at that last spot, Lewis beat him twice (although technically the first was a draw) and was pretty much the sole brights spot in the division afterwards... And like I said, it is partially a list of my favorite heavyweights anyway.
