I've always been partial to Foreman winning back the title 20 years after he lost it, but can't really argue with Armstrngs accomplishment. Hopkins being one of the best p4p fighters at 44 is impressive. Archie Moore's 131 ko's. Jack Johnson becoming the first black man to hold the heavyweight championship. Sam Langford being a dominant force from welterweight thru heavyweight. Harry Greb averaging more than 20 fights a year for his career against many of the best fighters of his era. I'll stick with my original pick, but there are a lot of great accomplishments that are noteworthy.

There are so Many out there its Hard to narrow it to just 1. Foreman's Comeback was impressive. He took Holyfield to hell and Back, Evander was even Holding onto George the whole 12th round. that was impressive.


But i cant go past Henry Armstrong 3 championships in 3 weight classes is very impressive even more so that there were no inbetween Weight Classes back then.


Marciano's Acheivements is also great, But we could go on and on. Boxing is full of them. But i guess the Single best acomplishment would be being considered p4p the best fighter to ever step in the ring, and that Title goes to Ray Robinson, So thats my choice.
