I can't dispute your lists as I don't know what those fighters were ranked at the times they fought Ali and Louis but I can tell you the only reason I even know most of those guys names are because they did face Ali and Louis. The rankings you show sound a little high and maybe that shows the state of the division ay thos era's as well. Not because they were truly great fighters or anything. I don't see anyone on that list who definitely beats both Klitschko's if that means anything. But nice try.

    Guys like Alejandro Lavorante, Doug Jones, Karl Mildenberger, Jerry Quarry, Joe Bugner, Chuck Wepner, Jimmy Young, Leon Spinks wouldn't even be in the top 25 today. I won't even touch on Louis' record. No need to.
    Yeah they would especially Young and Quarry, but you've obviously never seen them, and I'd favor Young over Wlad, also just out of curiosity who do you think has a weaker resume than Wlad?

      thats outrageous. a light heavyweight like Tomas Adamek can be #4 in the division, while Jerry Quarry couldnt? the #3 in the division arguably should have lost to someone that got a gift over a 45+ year old Holyfield.

      ridiculous. if anything todays HW era is terrible, and Im just trying to be objective with you.

      and by your same logic, no one that either Klitschko beat comes close to beating anyone on this list. doesnt mean their records are **** either.

      you just think theye garbage because you have no idea who they were. just as no one will recongnise guys like Brock, Johnson, etc on the Klitschko brothers list in ten years, but Im still going to give them credit for the wins.

        They were small and one dimensional. No better than a modern day David Tua. Wlad and Vitali would make easy work of either in my opinion. All Quarry had was a good left hook. Tommy Morrison had more in the kitty.

          I've seen several of the fighters Ali fought including the fights with them and they did nothing special. They were too small to live in todays heavyweight division I'm afraid. Let alone beat a Klitschko.

            Joe Louis
            Cassius Clay
            George Foreman
            Joe Frazier
            Rocky Marciano
            Larry Holmes
            Mike Tyson
            Evander Holyfield
            Lennox Lewis
            Wladimir Klitchko
            It's Marciano hands down. Wlad beat some good young fighters in convicing faction, Marciano beat 137 year old Louis and only a third of his opponents came off wins when he fought them. Learn your history kids, Wladimir is actually pretty good considering this era, he's at least par with Tyson if not better IMO.

              How is anyone gonna put wlad above marciano? At least he fought some kind of opposition, even if they were faded.

              Wlad has fought nobody. Absolutely nobody.

                Oh okay thanks for letting me know I was dealing with a special kid.

                Its clear you either don't know what the **** your watching or you've never seen them fight, I would break down their skillsets but its obvious there would be no point, ****ing ****** child.

                      LOL at the guys who said marciano


                      you guys must be vegetarians or something


                      it's Wladimir for the loss and nobody comes close


                      close fight with sam peter
                      and three stoppage losses..


                      yeah, he's put together a good run
                      and his resume might not really outline his greatness (he is a great boxer, along with the rest of those men)

                      but his resume in this context isnt as impressive as his counterparts
