    Burt Sugars top 10 Heavyweights of all time

    This has been running on espn classic. Its great. They spend about a half hour on each fighter and show clips from their most memorable fights.

    Has anyone seen who his number 1 is? I always seem to miss his # 1. I'm pretty sure Muhammid Ali is number 2 soooo just wonder who his number 1 is?

    His list....is a joke.

    He has Larry Holmes at 10.....Gene Tunney at 5 (or 6).
    Please....tell me what Gene Tunney did, AT HEAVYWEIGHT, that made him a greater heavyweight than Larry Holmes (& Foreman & Frazier for that matter) ?


    He has Joe Louis at #1 (that's fine, though I have Ali at #1).

      Thanks for the info

      Here is my list (not to be confused with the top 10 champions of all time - which I made based purly on their title defenses)....not that anyone cares

      1)Ali
      2)Louis
      3)Johnson
      4)Foreman
      5)Holmes
      6)Tyson
      7)Tunney
      8)Dempsey
      9)Marciano
      10)Frazier

      Tunney record was 61-1. Frazier has 4 losses and half as many wins.

        Now I know Sugar knows infinitely more about the sport than I do, but I feel his list was a joke as well.

        My list:

        Ali
        Louis
        Holmes
        Foreman
        Marciano
        Johnson
        Holyfield
        Frazier
        Lewis
        Dempsey
