Top Ten Heavyweights: 6ft and Under.

[D4thincarnation]

With the day of the giant Heavyweights where 6'3" is considered small, it seems unlikely that we will go back to a days when a man under 6ft would rule the roost again in the top weight division in boxing.

With that said I thought I would post my top 10 Heavyweights that are 6ft and under.


1: Joe Frazier
2: Rocky Marciano
3: Mike Tyson
4: Gene Tunney
5: Floyd Patterson
6: Sam Langford
7: Archie Moore
8: Jersey Joe Walcott
9: Ezzard Charles
10:


Need one more boxer to complete my list anyone have any nominations.



Poll coming!!!

Jim Jeffries

I think Sonny Liston is also not taller than Frazier

[raskat]

Chris Byrd should also be on this list

[Jim Jeffries]

Jim Jeffries

Over 6 ft. Usually listed between 6' 1 1/2" and 6' 2 1/2", everywhere except boxrec.

Chris Byrd should also be on this list

Well since he has an open 10th spot. But if not, who on that list would you replace?

[dan_cov]

You've listed all the ones I was going to say...Jack Dempsey.
David Tua though he wasn't a world champion he knocked 4 or 5 out.

[D-MiZe]

Just have Liston as part of the top 10, listed as 6ft 1/2.

Well since he has an open 10th spot. But if not, who on that list would you replace?

I would replace Archie Moore cause Moore did poorly in his heavyweight title fights against Ali and Marciano. And didnt Floyd Patterson stop him also?
I dont think Archie Moore would beat Chris Byrd

[raskat]

Btw Tyson and Frazier would beat all the others on that list pretty easily. Reason: size difference. All those guys on the list are around 180-190 pounds, but Tyson and Frazier are over 220 pounds.

The fact that Tyson, Frazier and Marciano have been voted as the top 3 is pretty disgraceful. Sam Langford and Ezzard Charles have been shown no love, I honestly can't believe it. If this poll were in the history section the results would be so different lol.

TS: great idea
