Boxing Scene Members: Who Faught The Best Opposition In Boxing History?

[Toddy]

can someone name quite a few fighters that arent in the HW division please? im interessted in who else there was apart from duran, robinson e.t.c. (if there are any) thanks

[Verstyle]

hahahahahahhaa

holmes was not in his prime when tyson beat him

HAHAHAHA he didn't duck anyone in his prime? If holmes was in his prime according to you when he fought tyson then Tyson, at age 22 or 23, was god damned definately in his prime when he ducked foreman.

what the hell r u talkin about. and wheres your boy joel ahaha. ne way i didnt say holmes was in his prime. tyson was wiping out the division,so he fought holmes. who else could of he had fought during that time that was really good. remember holmes only had 2 loses at the time.

[QUOTE=versatile2k6]tyson beat holmes while in his PRIME. all im sayin is he faced the best opposition in his prime,he didnt duck no1[/QUOTE]

i hope you mean tyson in his prime

his resume is nothing special

he maybe the most incredible example of human physiqe
boxing has ever seen

and his chin is underated to the max!

but he dominated possibly the worst era in boxing history
and was beat convincingly by the two top heabyweights of that era


actually he refused to fight foreman

[Verstyle]

Holmes was in his prime in the early 80's.
You are about 8 years off.
Im not saying he ducked anyone, but his level of competition still doenst compare with the greats.
Thats not his fault, thats just the way it is.

again i think u guys got my wording wrong i mean tyson was in his prime when he fought holmes

[Easy-E]

again i think u guys got my wording wrong i mean tyson was in his prime when he fought holmes

That makes sense.

yes yes yes. thats exactly what i mean. thank you. and the era wasnt that weak, he jus made it look weak.

[Memorex]

Ali, SRL, SRR, DLH, Erik Morales

that is up for interpretation


tyson is surely the most exciting fighter ever and in most people's eyes saved boxing when it had hit the ****s

but come on to be one of the greatest p4p

you beat the best of your era ( tyson did not as holyfield and lewis beat him )
you overcome adversity ( tyson although showing a great chin and heart was eventually stopped by holyfield and in the rematch resorted to biting holyfileds ear off and then in what many regarded as tyson make or break comeback fight he was clinically destroyed by lewis ( though taking some of the biggest bombs time after time from arguably the most destructive right hand in history before falling and this blew me away i regarded tysons chin up to that point as rubbish when it clearly was'nt)these were in my opinion tysons make or breaks ( to prove his worth as a p4p great) and he failed

I'd say Harry Greb. Just look at some of the names on his resume:

Gene Tunney
Tiger Flowers
Mickey Walker
Tommy Loughran
Maxie Rosenbloom
Jack Blackburn
Tommy Gibbons
George Chip
Mike Gibbons
Jack Dillon
Battling Levinsky

Dear lord. It's just ridiculous. And that's just to name a few. I'm not sure if any other fighter, with the exception of maybe Armstrong or Langford, has fought as many great fighters, as many times, at such a range of weights. He faced the best of the best from lightweight to heavyweights.
