    villa died at 23 though. so he has some excuse.
    Haha, I'm no fan of Lennox Lewis believe me.

    Definitely an ATG HW though, but I also think he gets overrated these days.

    Nothing close to how Wilde does though. He gets credit for doing nothing.

    Who knows in shape David Tua might have caught Lennox and stopped him, blame him

          super heavies ruined the div. too big, bulky, slow. now u got basketball players jabbing and clinching. and short hw's solution to fighting a 4 inch taller opp is to put on 30 lbs. WTF?

          i use to love hvy. followed it religiously pre-steward/wlad.

          i couldn't name FW/BW/LW champs but knew HW no names like sherman "tank" williams. derrick "d train" jefferson.

          tua was a waste.

          if only his trainers had kept him 220-225 lbs and forced him to be a high output, body punching, pressure fighter....

            Yeah true, true.

            D-Train! Haha

            Tua was a good fighter he really was, I loved watching him fight. Strong, big power, fast, really is a shame. That's what you call wasted talent.

              Jimmy Wilde, Jock McAvoy, Randolph Turpin and Ted Kid Lewis should be in the poll.

              Jimmy McLarnin was a Canadian.

                Thread read P4P.

                At his best ain't hardly anyone surviving his artillery.

                But the dish and froch votes make sense accomplishment wise in my view. All said and done ranked higher yea. And Naz probably also.

                    Sounds like boxing in the UK started in the 2000's according to the poll.
