@MindofaJedi I believe Marciano is over criticised, he is the only undefeated HW ever, who always found a way to win, he had punishing power and chin and maybe the greatest heart of any fighter ever, I do believe had he fought in any other era he would still have had a great career and record. Foreman may have beat him so may have Liston or Tyson but the man was still great. But yes Holmes in my opinion was the best he had a little of everything and could beat most opponents with his jab alone.
@jimmynablee Hey , thank you for the common sense comment . Foreman hit so hard ! He had a granite chin and might have killed Marciano with a single punch . A 5 ft 10 185 pound guy could not possibly take a punch from Foreman . Holmes is my pick for the number 1 HW ever. There are a few guys who could have probably outboxed and beaten a prime Foreman on points , but none were small . Lennox Lewis maybe or Pinklon Thomas in his prime also , but they wouldnt have dropped George .
@whitedeviltx Much respect for Larry Holmes ! He is my number 1 also . I like your list with the exception of Marciano . All the other guys on your list would easily destroy Marciano in their primes . Foreman may have literally killed him . At 5 ft 10 185 pounds and not very quick with only 14 inch arms , he could never be HW today , most of his opponents were between 180-190 pounds . Homes had everything , speed , power , best jab ever , cardio , a good chin .

I agree, Ali is number 1, Marciano is 2, Frazier is 3 and Foreman is 4.....in my book. You are a brilliant man of boxing....keep the videos coming.

Joe Louis number 10??? I rank Joe no. 3 and catch a lot of hell for having him too low.

You put Joe Louis too low, he might not have had great competition but that wasn't his fault he fought the best around in his time.
You also need to put Jack Johnson and Jack Dempsey in there somewhere, apart from that I agree with you.
George Foreman was a terrible boxer but no one could out-punch him.
