1) Muhammad Ali - Took out 3 greats, had amazing physical assets, IMO would beat any boxer 3/5 times at his best incl Joe Louis

2) Joe Louis - His record speaks for itself, more so then Marciano's if you analyse them properly. Technically brilliant.

3) Larry Holmes - Best of the 80's, also technically brilliant

4) Jack Dempsey - He achieved alot in that era of boxing, he could slug, he could box... and who can forget what he did to willard

5) George Foreman - In 74 only a handful of fighters could beat him

6) Rocky Marciano - Awesome Power and heart, but a quote comes to mind 'show me a fighter who's never been beaten, ill show you one who's never fought anybody'

7) Joe Frazier - Alot of heart, power, and good speed. He was better then given credit for... and in any other era would be given the credit he deserves.

8) Sonny Liston - He cleaned up an entire division, contrary to what some say he had good opponents. Devestating power and boxing ability

9) Mike Tyson - You cannot deny he was amazing in his prime

10) Lennox Lewis - Underrated, great technician, good record, Chin lets him down.

The listings are alright, but without a doubt MUHAMMAD ALI AND JOE LOUIS SHOULD BE IN THE TOP 2, in which order, up to you.

1)Rocky Marciano
2)george Foreman (70's)
3)Joe Louis
4)Jack Dempsey
5)Mike Tyson
6)Joe Frazier
7)Archie Moore (even though LHW)
8)George Foreman (90's)
9)Gene tunney
10)Larry Holmes

Dude, what are you smoking.

Just out of interest are those your top 10 favourite heavyweights, or who you think are the best. Im not mad either, everyones entitled to their opinions... but out of sheer curiosity... why isn't Ali in your top 10. A) you dont like him (which shouldn't matter) or B) you haven't read, watched, talked, listened enough?

[Heckler]

#1 Marciano - Undefeated Heavyweight Champ - That record will go unmatched for a LONG LONG TIME. Think 100 pt game in basketball
#2 Lennox Lewis (faced all the greats of his time, only lost twice and avenged both)
#3 Ali - I think he was to much of a mouth. To much of a chicken **** to go fight in Nam but liked fighting in the ring. *****
#4 George Foreman - Great Champ with a wonderful personality
#5 Jack Dempsey
#6 Iron Mike - The count on Douglas was slow and he was never the same after Cus died
#7 Evander Holyfield - Evander if there is anyway you are reading this, please retire.
#8 Joe Fraz - He met his match with Foreman but Fraz was a great champ
#9 Joe Louis - Great Champ
#10 Klitchko - We will have to see on this one. Time will tell.

Why dont you leave the board and not come back, or maybe read and then you will find out even if ALI went to Nam he wouldn't be fighting if he wanted to.

Liston could beat any of the fighters that Rocky and Dempsey fought; and their bones would have broken without plaster wrapped hands. Here's an updated list after much deliberation and video observation.

1. Muhammad Ali
2. Joe Louis (mainly for 11+ years as champ)
3. Sonny Liston
4. Larry Holmes
5. George Foreman
6. Mike Tyson
7. Joe Frazier
8. Rocky Marciano
9. Jack Johnson (How could I forget about the guy who would wipe teeth off of his gloves?)
10. Lennox Lewis

My list will probably change like a flavor of the month, but I feel that this is more accurate than my last.

I value your opinions alot, but its been found that it was impossible for dempsey to cheat against Willard



Read that article and you will find that it was essentially impossible.

My top 10 changes every so often and some changes are more radical. None of these are set in stone and all move up and down at one time or another. Most recently I compiled it along the lines of:

1. Joe Louis
2. George Foreman
3. Ali
4. Holmes
5. Marciano
6. Lewis
7. Frazier
8. Johnson
9. Dempsey
10. Holyfield

Many of the people from 6-10 move up and down much more often and have sometimes even been off the list (exception being Frazier).

Foreman on my list used to be 3 but recently edged off Ali at #2 and the more I look at it the more I am probably gonna' have Big George at #1 soon. ALi might move up to #2 if Louis is bumped down from George as well. I think Ali beats Foreman 1 time in 100 fights, and it just so happens that 1 fight happened to be the real deal. Even with that loss he still floored Frazier numerous times and dominated other fighters through 3 decades. When he truly revived his career and beat Moorer that solidified him as one of the greatest ever. I look at the longevity of one's career and Big George's has to be the best. For that reason it's the same idea why I'd never put Tyson in my top 10.

Ali would always beat Foreman, especially in his prime. Every fighter is bad against a certain style... Foreman was bad against fighters with handspeed, ability to absorb punishment, and who can fight on the backfoot... eg. Ali, Holmes. Like Ali Foreman wasn't invincible, and Ali exposed him and people have to learn to accept it.
