RING's TOP 5 by the decade

[raf727]

Holyfield had one of the greatest runs in the late 90's. That was something special.

no doubt man, combine that with the fact that he was a natural CW doing the **** he did at HW was special, the man would not be denied.

Every fight after the Czyz fight felt like a scene in Lord of The Rings where you thought one of the main characters would die, but Holyfield just found a way to pull it off. Until he ran into Lewis that is.

But his run was crazy.

Great lists-surprising that there are no heavyweights from the seventies.

I didn't know that there is another Filipino boxing great before. Pancho Villa

I read his biography. He died while at the height of his boxing career. So sad!

Yeah Battling Nelson should be #2 just for going 42 rounds winning 30 first.

He probably lost 35 of the 41 completed rounds against Gans. :/
