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

[!! Mr. Soprano]

Klitchko sucks man how many real battles has he been in? The only true heavyweight fighters out there now well actually there arent any good ones, unless you think of byrd (ahhhhahahah) and Toney or friggan Ruiz ahahahhhahahaa. Come on greatest white heavy weight is Rocky Marciano hands down!

Idiot, Can you STOP Posting to Last Years News?

Rocky Marciano. End of thread.

[wmute]

It's either James Jeffries, Jack Dempsey or Rocky Marciano...and contrary to what most in this thread believe, arguments can be made supporting any of those three fighters.

exactly. beautifully f-++-n' exposed

Without A Doubt Butterbean, Yea Right! Rocky Marciano Is The Best White Heavyweight Ever, Current Vitali Klitschko

[legend]

IMO, it's Rocky Marciano with Jack Dempsey running a close second. The Klits aren't even in their league. Dempsey would murder VK like he did Jess Willard and Marciano would just suzy-q his ass into oblivion.

Marciano, Dempsey - Cooper was underated, he had Ali down and out but for the 'glove'

Rocky The Brockton Blockbuster Marciano.

****** question

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?

How can you not have Dempsey? Dempsey would have a better chance of fighting in todays era then any of the guys from the past. Also James J Corbett deserves some respect. He was small for a heavyweight when he fought but he really did teach the division how to box and as a lightheavy he would be an all time great. I think Vitali Klitschko could beat Marciano's ass, but Marciano would KO Dempsey. Marciano, Dempsey and Klitshco are close. What Klitshco does in the next five years could put him at the top or barely top ten.

Marciano, no question. anybody who says different is an idiot.
