Who would u boxing fans rate as the best ever
heavyweight champion and the best ever pound
for pound fighter.
Heavyweight champion...heres my top 5,
1.Muhammad Ali (the greatest, 3xChamp)
2.Joe Louis (12 yrs as champ, 25 defences)
3.Jack Johnson (first black champ)
4.Larry Holmes (very underrated, he was
awesome)
5.Iron Mike Tyson (the most exiting
heavyweight eva..in his day he was a
monster)
Other possiblie entrys...Jack Dempsey, Rocky
Marciano (49-0 43kos) cant argue with that
record...Lennox Lewis, Evander Holyfield,
George Foreman, Joe Fraizer, Gene Tunney,
Sonny Liston...i could go on forever...gimme
ur opinions...
Now pound for pound is another ball game
alltogether.....heres a few to get u
thinkin...Sugar Ray Robinson, Henry
Armstrong, Muhammad Ali, Roy Jones Jr,
Michael Spinks, Bob Foster, Archie Moore,
Roberto Duran, Sugar Ray Leonard, Willie Pep,
Aaron Pryor, Dick Tiger, Tommy Hearns, Barny

Think ya got it about right there……….Ali…no
question……..just brill…and so right with
Larry Holmes….deffo underrated…….the man
never lost………..he was at the latter end of
the Great Boxing days………..I’m sure he would
have given any of the old greats a good go

Mike Tyson was never the cleanest of fighters
i agree but in his younger days he was never
really a dirty fighter either usually his
fights didnt last long enuff for him to get
dirty!!!
Tyson with Cus D`amato had the potential to
become one of the very best champions of all
time maybe even The best but as we know
D`Amato died and Took part of Tyson with
him.
If Tyson had been able to keep his head
together i dont think Buster Douglas would of
lasted 3 rnds with him and if he never went
to jail i think he would have been too much
for Holyfield and Lewis but then maybe i`m
wrong as in fights against the likes of Mitch
Green and Tony Tucker Tyson did look beatable
by a sound boxer with a good chin and a hard
jab.
He was the most exiting heavyweight i ever
seen tho but unfortunatly i dont think he
reached even 60% of his potential. Wot a
waste! |

Joe is a very good fighter but i`m not sure
about all time great tho, he has fought in
his back yard for most of his ten year reign
and has never been the most consistent of
fighters, He did look Awesome against Lacy
tho (i thought he was gonna lose that one)
But struggled a bit in his next fight.
He should destroy Peter Manfredo in his next
fight tho...and u cant argue with his record! |

Ah Raging Bull....De Nero plays a good
part...if u thought the film was rough u
should check out some of Jake Lamottas
fights...may i recomend any of his 5 fight
series with Sugar Ray Robinson or his June
1949 fight with Marcel Cerdan, his rematch
with Bob Murphy in 1952 was a cracker
aswell.... |

Ali first.
I'd have Marciano 2nd. 49-0 speaks for itself
and he wasn't all that big a man.
Pound for pound - Henry Armstrong. Wasn't he
champ in 4 weight divisions?

It would have to be Rocky Marciano. He was a
mean and tough S.O.B. He was a heavyweight
at 190 lbs with no reach. But knocked out
90% of the fighters who fought him. He grew
up in a hard life which made him that hard
and mean. No doubt the best boxer ever /
pound for pound. |
