>>64739869

>>64739869
After Ali, Frazier, Tyson and Holyfield, yes.

>>64741407
Sure Louis boxed some bums, but that doesn't change the fact that he was champ, you don't become champ and have one loss (to a guy you later beat) by just beating up bums.

Tyson boxed too long, but still, more KOs against greats. You gotta assess someone's prime, not when they're 40

he was the best of his era, which was a great era but was not a 15rd era. he can easily be labeled the best 12rd HW of all time but there has to be a clear dichotomy in comparing fighters from 12&15 rd eras.

anyway, he has truly been a blessing to the sport.
>educated, personable, a class act and can read & write
>never ducked or delayed a fight
>has some very exciting fights worth rewatching
>retired and continues to be a great ambassador of the sport.

Le jab you to death man

>>64741590

Lennox would have fucked up Tyson anytime, anywhere

Was this before the Russian fucked him up so bad he got scared and retired?
"Hol up, I got lucky with that cut, dat Russian is bad, I'm done"

Dr steel hammer or his brother is the greatest you ignorant fucks

Y'all fucking retarded. 49-0 43 KOS. The only thing that could get this fucker was a plane crash.

>>64741407
You don't.

Manny Steward, the guy who basically laid the blueprint for tall fighters to win and revolutionized the super heavyweight scene, puts Joe Louis on his top 5 ATG list at #2

>>64741590
Adrien Broner is a 4 time world champion in multiple weight divisions and hasn't beaten a single A tier fighter.

Lennox was too old by then. He was slow lethargic and not fit enough. He just wanted to prove he can still hang.
Fuck the Bitchko brothers, there hasn't been an undisputed HW champ since Lewis.

>>64750685
That's the beauty of the Heavyweight division. One punch at anytime can end the fight.

>>64743282

So /box/, who wins? I thought Joshua showed some weaknesses in his win over Whyte.

>>64750706
it's been getting very difficult to become an undisputed HW champ in the last 10-15 years or so. Much more difficult than in the past.

>>64750721
for all its worth, while Marciano is basically a meme heavyweight that would have been a cruiserweight in reality, it's still worth noting that he mostly faced heavier opponents and still kept that KO ratio, which is impressive on its own. and he never choked. So stats-wise he's great, which doesn't equate to being a strong HW nowadays. Heck, guys like Ali would have been barely good nowadays, going by the sheer reach disadvantage, height, weight they'd have.

>>64750912
Parker 3rd KO

>>64741165

explain? he was technically one of the GOATs, knocked people out most of the time and never dodged anyone.

>>64751003
Perfected the jab and did little else

>>64751013

Why do people blatantly diminish a fighters skill level like this? If you don't care about boxing don't post in boxing threads.

>>64750663
like whom?

>>64750721
he did not get knocked down by joe lewis.

>>64750590
>le I know boxing because I've viewed records and read wikipedia man
have you even seen a fight in its entirety prior to 1990?
