    Ali
    Louis
    Holmes
    Foreman
    Marciano

    is my list. I know it sounds funny but Holmes is the only other HW besides Ali that I can see beating every other HW.

He's lucky that he was a late bloomer in a weak division that he made weaker by his choice of opponents.
      so are you saying he isn't great becuase he "avoided" Page and Coetzee?

          In recognition of an earlier post on this thread, I vote we hereby refer to posts of this nature as "Oranges are orange" posts. Or perhaps just "oranges" for short.

            What a dumb thread, anyone with a brain knows his good, and he's retired, so this should go in BOXING HISTORY...

              Ali was not fast at all in the Holmes fight. I never saw a fighter so clearly a shell of himself, except maybe Louis vs. Marciano. Holmes is a great fighter, as evidenced in the Norton and Shavers fights. He is underappreciated because he always had asterisks near his names.

                      It's true.
