Who is the most skill full and versatile boxer ever in the heavyweight division?

Okay, last word on this cos I've gotta go to bed.

We've already established I don't have an alt account in this thread. Why? Because I said so. As hard as it may be to take in, I really DID just start slating you because you're a childish, moronic **** with nothing to offer an adult debate.

But what I really gotta say is... " "... is the peak of generic comebacks.

Kid.... come back to me when you've got more to offer, yeah? I'm getting bored here.

"moronic ****". Way to be such an adult my friend. Bravo. very mature sir.

You're getting so bored, that you respond to each and everyone of my posts, with the same "child like" moronic come backs.

Come back to me, when you aren't butt hurt.

Night night. Keep ya booty tight. So you fall asleep faster.

this is lame, but i'll go with two men.

louis and ali.

louis is the best and most dangerous offensive fighter in the history of the division, and ali is the fastest, and is the most effective boxer.

The mark of the truly unimaginative... using the other poster's remarks back at them.

Night kid. Say hi to your mother for me. Keep her warm for me, y'hear?

George Foreman. He practically changed up his style when he returned to fight again after he first retired.

good shout. odd case. he was essentially two different fighters. definitely a "versatile" boxer.

you see what i did?

Back for more ay? I must be a special guy. Keeps responding with the same condescending remarks, and 5th grade like jabs.

"say hi to your mother for me." Bravo sir. Very original.

You're boring me. bye buddy.

Word of advice.

Take Omar's advice from your sig going down the route you are going

No kidding. This is like trying to get away from a man eating shark by swimming out into the ocean. Not very bright.

Probably Gene Tunney as regards to the smarts & the skillset to adapt to any challenge - depends on whether you regard him as a true Heavyweight, though.

Larry Holmes would be my pick as a natural Heavyweight.
Watching Holmes fight in his prime, especially in the mid of his very long title reign...
- the guy could do it all - superb jab, great movement, brilliant timing, could take it inside when he had to, full compliment of punches, solid power in both hands, & excellent ring smarts.

I have always thought it was ali, but im not sure.

Joe Louis. Skills and versatility are the criteria. He could fight going forwards or backwards. In many ways he was better going backwards. He attacked head and body and threw in a textbook manner. This doesn't mean he would beat some of the other guys mentioned.

To me it's not Ali. He never really went to the body. He was just exceptional with his hand speed and more importantly foot speed. In combination with his willpower that was enough to defeat almost every fighter.

You don't know **** about boxing. His jab was spectacular, and his willingness to go toe to toe in smart on his part, because of his inside game, and the fact that he knew he had the toughest chin at HW.

And why don't you answer the damn question. Who do you think is the most skilled HW?

Spectacular??

Please refer to Sonny Liston and Larry Holmes...those are spectacular jabs. Holyfield never had a spectacular jab.

The best way to actually beat Holyfield was to jab consistently. He lost to guys that did that. Moorer, Lewis...even when he was old James Toney killed him by using the jab.
