So why isnt his reign as long as Louis, or Holmes, or ali? And his quality of opposition is second tier.

wassup fellow boxing heads. My list of top ten are mainly all hard hitting aggressive fighters because that's what i think makes a great fighter.
1.) Muhammad Ali - although i did say hard hitting agressive fighters are what makes a fighter great, the fact that Ali fought against those type of guys doing the complete opposite and winning makes him the greatest.
2.)Mike Tyson - Iron mike may have suffered brutal losses in his last few fights, but back in the day he was a wrecking ball that no one could last a full twelve with until don king and lawers screwed his head up.
3.) Joe Louis - The brown bomber is my father's favorite. 68-3, he ran through opponents, and would've ran through Marciano if he was younger.
4.) Rocky Marciano - 49-0 speaks for itself. Gotta give respect to that.
5.)George Foreman - Big George was one of the most intimidating fighters of all time. Haymaker after haymaker, this guy couldn't be stopped even in his 40's
6.) Sonny Liston - Sonny Liston was a beast. Before the fight began he would scare the crap out of his opponents, and then knock em out.
7.) Joe Frazier - Smoking Joe was real cool with me. He was able to take multiple blows to the head and still come through and knock you out.
8.) Larry Holmes - You simply just gotta give him a big round of applause. My man was fighting from '73 to '02 and retired with 69 wins and only 4 losses!!!
9.) Jack Johnson - Great fighter, and you gotta love him for showing the world just how equally good us african americans are at boxing. You gotta at least respect him unless your some type of racist.
10.Lennox Lewis - i'm not a fan of Lennox. In fact i hate him, but i do know that he ruthlessly ruled the heavyweight division and retired for no reason. When i was watchin the last fight of his career i thought that Klitscko was the man, but watching him fight now, i think Lewis should come out of retirement and knock out that bum and his brother.
