Tomorrow I have to travel to one of the shore areas and oversee an Amateur Boxing Show, and I might have to Ring Announce.
I am interested in any list that anyone might have. I have tried several BUT the only way I can rate them is by a combination of things like who they fought and beat, watching films, looking at all their records, and most of the STATS that I gave you before. And then I am not sure.
Good Luck, HenryComment

It was also taken into consideration on my list and I had him at tied 10th with Jack Dempsey but gave him the nod over Dempsey on going undefeated.Originally posted by The Iron Man View Post
Henry you know I respect you, but we can't always agree on everything and although I had Tyson tied 5th with Holyfield on my list and Marciano tied 10th with Dempsey despite everything you say and the stats if any of the 3 we were talking about were to beat Tyson I still would rather put my money on Marciano to do it. Sometimes stats don't count for nothing, look at the Douglas fight with Tyson. Douglas had never stopped a top10 ranked heavyweight, how was he supposed to knock out the invincible Tyson. Styles make fights and maybe Tyson would be favourite but upsets can and do happen. I've just got this feeling that Marciano could do it, even though everything points to Tyson. Its strange trying to explain it but I've just got this weird feeling about it. Believe this or not but I actually had the same feeling for the Tyson - Douglas fight. I can't to this day say why but I had a feeling Douglas was gonna beat him, I put money on at the bookies and bet a lot of friends and won a great deal of money on it. It's my greatest prediction ever, call it a fluke or whatever you want. I had a gut feeling and went with it even though my head said your being ******. That's how I feel about Tyson - Marciano.
Iron Man - As I've said before really looking forward to seeing that list and how you came to your conclusion and if it was different from your original list. Please post both as I did. Any idea how long we have to wait?Comment

Good Work Iron Man and Poet. Just thought I'd post mine next to it to compare. Looking slot similar than beforeOriginally posted by The Iron Man View Post
My Original list:-
1> Muhammad Ali
2> Larry Holmes
3> Lennox Lewis
4> Joe Louis
5> Evander Holyfield
6> Jack Johnson
7> George Foreman
8> Rocky Marciano
9> Joe Frazier
10>Mike Tyson
My new greatest list of heavyweight champions:- (I will use the same system for the champions I have not yet included and will update my list at a later date)
1> Muhammed Ali
2> Joe Louis
3> Lennox Lewis
4> Larry Holmes
5> Evander Holyfield
6> Mike Tyson (scored same as Holyfield, but his 2 losses give EH 5th spot)
7> George Foreman
8> Joe Frazier
9> Jack Johnson
10>Rocky Marciano
11>Jack Dempsey (scored same as Marciano, but RM unbeaten so gets 10th)
12>Floyd Patterson
13>James J. Jeffries
14>Tommy Burns
15>Ezzard Charles
16>Sonny Liston
As you all know, my criteria was different, in I haven't yet had the chance to add abilities and some other criteria so it will change and may look even closer to yours. At the moment our top 2 are the same and then 3-6 are the same but slightly different order.
P.S Be interested in seeing how you scored each criteria.
P.P.S Gave Poet some Karma but it wouldn't let me give you any Iron Man (Sorry)Last edited by -CANE-; 09-29-2007, 03:13 AM.Comment
