Comments Thread For: The Greatest Encore: Ranking the Best Heavyweights Since Ali

[PRINCEKOOL]

Tyson Fury should not be ranked ahead of Wladimir Kiltschko 'Would Fury of beaten Haye at his peak? Povetkin? Nobody knows, I honestly think Haye would of sparked him out when they where scheduled to fight.

Wladimir Kiltschko was heavyweight champion for a extremely long time, and was denied a rematch vs Tyson Fury 'Fury has yet to make a title defense'.

I have zero idea, why Tyson Fury is so high on this list.

Rid**** bowe number 2 ? Joe fraizier most over rated heavyweight of all time? I think Rid**** bowe is the most overrated heavyweight of all time the guys defence was non existent, his fitness was never there, he openly ducked lenox lewis and by the time he was 28 he looked like a 40 year old. He was a great fighter but not one of the greatest of all time.

I might be off here, but isnt the list limited to those after Ali retired...KN was done when Ali was

Im British and me neither....he doesnt have anything besides Wilder and Vlad.

Why do holyfield and bowe belong to the top 6 but Fury doesn't?

Fury just doesnt belong in the top 6 yet...Rid**** is questionable for the top six,but Evander sure belongs there.

Klitschko

How anyone can rate Wladimir higher than Vitali will always remain a mystery to me.

Holm’s was not in his prime when he fought Tyson. The man was damn near 40! The hate on Holm’s is real !

Well duh.

I never said he was, but he was still in his prime when he fought Carl "The Truth" Williams, who it is almost universally agreed up got robbed when he fought Holmes.

Tyson destroyed Williams in like a minute.

Larry as champ went life & death with Michael Spinks

Tyson dismantled him in 90 seconds.

Just about all of their common opponents, Tyson destroyed wayy worst.

Styles make fights. And spinx mentally was not in it during the Tyson fight only in it for the money. Like Ali vs Holm’s.

Agreed. But it did seem to be around longer.

Notice I didn’t put down Ali cuz Ali was washed up. So don’t add that washed up Tyson or that one hit wonder rah men.

So what you going to use that bad call to stop the fight on Klitschko and Shannon Briggs. F out of here.

So don't include Rahman even though he has wins over Sanders and Lewis, because he's a one hit wonder, but you list Leon, Shavers (Didn't even get the decision over Ali in his one good win. Has nothing of substance other than that fight) Mercer, Norton, and the likes of Berbick?

That's your capabilities to debate? Make a fool out of yourself? Haha.

Tyson was still a good fighter, just not a very good one or great. His win over Golota was good, so it kept him in the good win column.

Briggs getting smacked about dropped all over the place and Vitali getting stopped after his face was falling off are bad stoppages? No, you're just desperate as this hideous post clearly shows.

Homes has 8 good wins, with one of those wins coming against the same guy in Shavers. None of them are very good or great.

Lewis however...

Holyfield x2 both ATG wins.
Klitschko Great win
Tua good win
Grant good win
Mercer good win
Morrison good win
Mavrovic good win
Ruddock good win
Rahman good win
McCall good win
Tucker good win
Briggs good win
Golota good win
Bruno good win

I give 1 point for a good world class win. 2 points for a very good win. 3 points for a great win. 4 points for an ATG win.

Holmes has 8 to Lewis' 23 points. That's over twice as good as his resume. It's not even up for debate. All you can do is get desperate and make a fool of yourself. But thanks for the laughs anyway. You really made me chuckle.
