Post the greatest Runs in HW history

[chrisJS]

WTF?

Have you never heard of guys named Louis, Ali, Holmes, Tyson or Lewis?

He specifically listed the run of Lewis you moron.

Holmes was great and a personal favorite but Ali to him was what Louis was to Marciano and then when you say Marciano "beat nobody" then why mention Holmes? He doesn't have wins as good as Walcott and Charles and whereas Holmes LOST to the light heavyweight champion Michael Spinks, Marciano BEAT the light heavyweight champion Archie Moore.

this has to be up there surely?:

Tommy Morrison
Ray Mercer
Oliver McCall
Henry Akinwande
Andrew Golota
Shannon Briggs
Zeljko Mavrovic
Evander Holyfield
Evander Holyfield
Michael Grant
Frans Botha
David Tua

You mean Tommy Morrison running away from Big George for 12 rounds?

I don't understand the point of your thread. Many of the guys on your list were never champions and a few of the champs on the list were not very good champions. Who really cares about their runs? I know I don't. Then you have great champion Holyfield on the list with very average heavyweights who were never champions or even close to being champions. Why?? I would think great heavyweight runs should be for great long lasting heavyweight champions like Louis, Marciano, Lewis, the K brothers, Dempsey, Ali, Holyfield etc and not Botha, Grant, Golota, Akinwanda and other mediocre heavyweights.

and thats a prime Tom Dallas we're talking about here, get that right! And yes John Mcdermott was a plumber but lets not forget he unofficially took Tyson Fury's soul in a horrible robbery!

Not sure why you're so bothered lol, it's rare to have a run of even 4-5 good opponents in a row without taking an L, let alone 10+

None of the guys on that list are bums and i believe all but the serbian guy/Tua were world champions? which is kind of tragic considering Tua himself KO'd half a dozen world champions without becoming a world champion himself. edit: oh yeah and Akinwande, who was a good solid contender with a massive punch

Either way can you think of another HW with a better run of win's than that?

[Nay_Sayer]

Jersey Joe Walcott twice
Ezzard Charles twice
Roland La Starza twice
Archie Moore
Joe Louis (I know he was shot)

Walcott was an ole man.
Charles turned pro @ 160 - and had already been beaten by the likes of Harold Johnson and Nino Valdes
La Starza was a nobody and Marciano arguably lost the first fight.
Moore was an ole man and a light heavyweight
Louis was shot to pieces
