                  Dude you cant be serious...Ali was the greatest heavy weight by far, Mike Tyson was the youngest heavyweight champion and was just plain nasty..The old timers you have there were all great..and they fought with tiny gloves..not with these pillows that they fight with today. Dempsey would not be able to be a heavy weight, he would be a light heavy. And to put Leornard and Duran there...omg..thats just rediculous.

                      i strongly disagree with your list and ur saying that "guys today would get clobbered".

                      hearns beating robinson? hearns cant take it as well as he could dish it out (something robinson was an expert at)

                      ali=not that great? im not even gonna dignify that with a rebuttal.

                      dempsey was wild, but get punished today? against THIS kind of competition? plz.

                      louis was 6'2" and his feet were slow but his hands were fast.

                      i agree with marciano. but hes not overrated.
