@JohnnyWeedSeed420, your theory makes no sense. Tyson had absolutely shocking stamina, it was one of his weak points. He also, in the eyes of most, didn't hit as hard at Foreman, Shavers or, for that matter, Liston. Everything that Tyson struggled against (great jab, movement, superb chin and self-belief) Ali had in abundance. With Ali's ability to get inside an opponent's head, coupled with Tyson's metal weakness, I reckon Ali would totally dominate him. It would be man versus boy.

@mosthaterz to think that white people have no authority on boxing history because they are white is the definition of racism. fuck you and go kick rocks... from a black man

[mosthaterz]

Four white guys talking about a sport dominated by black people, what a joke, racism at its finest.

@cv003799 I remember Angelo Dundee once saying that every boxer has one opponent they can't box at their best with. It could've been that or not. But those cascading gazelle punches made for some of the most beautiful knockouts ever! You see them in the vid "Floyd Patterson Knockouts." The art of attack is probably best taught by him. He was like a shooting star with fists.

I also forgot to mention one other boxer on my list of favorites: Julio Cesar Chavez.

@Bellantoni why patterson? if he'd have fought liston earlier he wouldn't have even been champ

[Bellantoni]

Well for what it's worth here's mine: Joe Louis, Ray Robinson, Ali, Roy Jones, Ray Leonard, Bernard Hopkins, Floyd Patterson, Roberto Duran.

In no particular order, except Louis is my #1 and Robinson #2.

Not trying to impress anyone, these are just the fighters I find the most fun to watch and from which I've learnt the most about being a capable fighter.

I wish Salvador Sanchez had survived to fulfil his potential. Damn, his bouncing footwork was mesmerising.

@AlxMiNeR lw i used to mean LIGHTWEIGHT... his whole lightweight career.

[AlxMiNeR]

@HellsHighwayTrooper roberto? 16 l and he could lose 5 time agains sugar ray leonard .. nyway im not really good in english duno what lw means..

[HellsHighwayTrooper]

@AlxMiNeR Lol hes very overrated. Duran only lost 1 fight in his whole LW legacy and he avenged that twice.

[AlxMiNeR]

@HellsHighwayTrooper youre right .. but marciano was one of the greatest .. u can just switch them if u want.. still better than duran .. sry ;)
