      Joe Louis, and it really isn't close in my opinion. Is see Hustle has put up Holmes. Larry was a great champion and highly skilled, but he didn't throw combinations with pinpoint accuracy and devastating power the way Louis did.

        Gene Tunney

        One loss to an ATG; one KD by one of the hardest ****ers all time.

            - - Joe Louis hands down though modern monkeys discount his lack of running/stinking footwork of the modern model started by Ali.

              Lennox Lewis. Usually outpointed you on the outside but also had a deadly inside game if that right uppercut was landing. He could even brawl with the best of them, though that wasn't always in his best interest. Point is he could. Chess game, massive KO's, jabs, combo's etc.

                Perhaps even better would be Evander Holyfield. He could obviously brawl, had a good inside game, could fight from pretty much any range and when he was younger, he was even able to bounce on his toes and move lightly sticking out jabs. Great defensive movement too. Genetically gifted, had amazing atg trainers his whole career. Evander was probably the most talented HW boxer I've ever seen in my lifetime, he had to be to compete and do so well while being outsized in such a strong era.

                  - - Mike Spinks pitched a shutout on prime Qawi to send him packing to Cruiser.

                  Tubby Qawi put Vander in ICU in a highly disputed split decision.

                  Do I have to remind U of Vander heavyweight record yet again?

                  ???

                    Didnt really throw left hooks either,he was basically left jab. right cross,"the old one two ,"as it used to be called .He had an excellent right uppercut though.
