Ranked 1-10 the 10 greatest Heavys of all time (OF ALL TIME!!) w/ In depth breakdown

[LacedUp]

1. Ali
2. Louis
3. Johnson
4. Foreman
5. Lewis
6. Holmes
8. Liston
9. Holyfield
10. Frazier

I'm redoing my list quite often so a lot of you might have seen a slightly different version.

People who just missed the cut: Tyson, Walcott, Marciano, Dempsey, Charles and probably guys like Jeffries, Wills.

[QUOTE=Counter Troll;13687445][SIZE="4"]1) Muhammad Ali

2) Joe Louis


3) George Foreman


4) Joe Frazier


5) Evander Holyfield


6) Rocky Marciano

7) Mike Tyson

8) Larry Holmes


9) Lennox Lewis

10) Sonny Liston

Pretty good list, I have Frazier and Holy are a bit too high up but I won't argue with it too much.

[Canelo Phresh]

Good breakdowns and solid reasoning. Green k sent.

Wlad doesn't belong in there. I have him at 19.

Terrible list with Ali in the top 9. Louis is #1 by far.


I hate when dudes over-rate Ali and Tyson because of their name recognition. Tyson gets credit for being youngest HW Champ and that is it. He lost to every good HW that he fought and ducked the rest. Tyson ducked every HW that could punch.

Tyson had Bowe,Morrison,Mercer,Holyfield,Lewis, Moorer,Tua, and Foreman to fight during his reign as real HW Champ.He fought none of them. Hewaited to fight Holyfield and got drilled. He was embarrassed by Lewis (#3 ATG).


Ali was a showman who really lost three times to Norton,Once to Cooper and Frazier,Holmes,Spinks, and Berbeck. He beat up LHW and got dropped by plodding stiffs. He has 3 awesome wins and should have had 8 loses.

You're missing #7. Shall I assume that Lamon Brewster was intended to occupy that spot?

Nope, Ross Purrity.

Actually, this list is probably better:

1. Ali
2. Louis
3. Johnson
4. Lewis (tied with Foreman)
5. Foreman (tied with Lewis)
6. Holmes
7. Holyfield
8. Dempsey
9. Liston
10. Marciano
