You have Louis 1st? Hmmmmmm?

[GJC]

Lennox Lewis too low.
Harry Wills, top 12? Might be being controversial here but I sometimes think that him not fighting Dempsey has done Wills a lot of favours.
Very good fighter, some good wins and should have got his shot but personally never had any doubt that Dempsey would have beaten him. Big and whilst awkward was quite slow, Dempsey loved fighters like that.
Ah well thats my controversial comment for the day

[GJC]

Thanks for taking the time to do these Poet.
While we are on the subject or at least I am, how about running Dempsey v Wills?

[D-MiZe]

Your software must be broke.

How the fuck is Bowe higher than Lewis?

[StarshipTrooper]

You have Louis 1st? Hmmmmmm?

It surpised me. Whilst Louis is my favorite fighter I've always consistantly rated Ali as the number one Heavyweight. I'll have to go back and check to see how they did head-to-head.

Ok. Louis took the head-to-head series 39-55-6. That's a bit unusual as they usually are around the break-even mark. The biggest difference between the two, though, is their respective records against Joe Frazier: Louis dominated Frazier by a 73-27-0 mark while Ali, though still winning the series solidly, struggled against Frazier somewhat by a 57-36-7 score.

Because he won around a hundred more fights in the tournament

I can agree with that.

These tournaments are cool, these are the results and are based on head-to-head I assume? I thought Ali would've gotten 1st but no argument here with Louis as number 1 either.

[StarshipTrooper]

I can agree with that.

These tournaments are cool, these are the results and are based on head-to-head I assume?

Yep: 21 fighters with each fighting everyone else 100 times for a total of 2,000 fights.
