I always sort of disliked the p4p term myself and when rating fighters in a historical sense, I'd much prefer them to be simply called the "greatest fighters of all-time" rather than "p4p best of all-time" or something like that with the p4p term included in it...Some fighters are known as all-time greats because they dominated their own weight classes for a prolonged period of time (Pep, Leonard, etc.), whereas some fighters are known as all-time greats because they've had tremendous success in moving up in weight and defeating bigger men (Langford, Armstrong, Canzoneri, etc.)...All deserve their high place in historical ranks regardless of what one believes p4p to emphasize. -

IMHO opinion Mike's accomplishment in his short prime years deserve merit to be in my list, being the youngest HW champ and dominating the division for a few years, I also think that Prime Tyson can beat half on your list including Lewis and Holyfield...Originally posted by morancitoTyson shouldn't be nowhere near the top 10 heavyweights of all time. In no particular order:
Ali
Frazier
Foreman
Liston
Holmes
Dempsey
Louis
Marciano
Lewis
Holyfield
Charles
Patterson
Tunney
Jack Johnson
were all better than Tyson. And I'm sure I'm forgetting one or two.
but its ONLY my OWN list as a regular fan, i acknowledge past legends that i have not seen fight although with some reservation, and I give a lot to great fighters that i have seen fight, maybe that's why my list includes Mike as a HW p4p ...Comment
