Who's the greatest white heavyweight boxer of all time?

[Abe Attell]

I'm still in shock that he pick "Wladimir" Klitschko as the best white heavyweight ever. Even Vitali would have shocked me but Dempsey and Marciano blow both Klitschkos away by thousands of miles. Forget that they are even white, they are regarded as two of the best heavyweights ever to step foot in the ring.

The problem is, could Marciano take Wlad's punch?


I vote for Dempsey...I think he would beat the Rock, prime vs prime.

Gotta go with the rock on this one.

Marciano. Easily. I really like Klitschko as well though. He needs to prove himself a bit though before he really enters into greatness.

Did someone forget
Rocky Marciano!!!!!!

There's no argument here at all. Marciano by a mile. He was one of the best eva, not just white. Thread officially closed!

Without doubt the greatest white heavyweight boxer of all time is Rocky "The Brockton BlockBuster" Marciano.

Need I show more proof that Rocky Marciano is extremely overrated?

I'm not talking about Wlad, I'm talking about Dempsey.

In the 70's, it's called the GREAT WHITE HOPE. I think so far Vitaly Klitschko has got what it takes to be the greatest white heavyweight boxer of all time. (Do we consider John Ruiz, who has been a title-holder for sometime now, a "white"?)
A number of white sluggers in the past also comes to mind. They provided life, excitement and top-caliber challenges in the black-dominated heavyweight division.

Rocky Marciano
Joe Bugner
Tommy Morrison
Gerry Cooney
Duane Bobick
Henry Cooper
Jerry Quarry
George Chuvalo
Gerrie Coetzee
Chuck Wepner (who inspired the first Rocky movie)
Randy "Tex" Cobb
James "Bonecrusher" Smith
to name a few.

Who's the greatest white HW boxer of all time for you?

marciano and dempsey obviously

I think Marciano would probably be considered the best of the white heavys though.
