I have to put Lennox Lewis up there. He beat off some good boys, and few think he ******.

Marciano fisted some good boys, prime boys, like LaStarza. He says he liked 'em, and we know he licked 'em.

Ali licked, fisted and beat off the best opposition for years with plenty of foreplay.

From this point onward the real mark of the best heavyweights will be when they beat an opponent into a *** change. There are a few who would have had *** changes but the operation was not available during their eras.

Maybe you could list the "Prime Opponents" you think they beat:

Lewis ?

Marciano ?

Ali ?

Lewis has to be high on the list, somewhere above Marciano but below Ali

Dempsey was at least 5 years past prime probably nearer 7 and he hadn't fought for 3 years.
But don't worry about it get back to Lewis which is the purpose of the thread
