The top 10 POUND FOR POUND Boxers ALL TIME

[POJO_Risin]

Holmes...loved Holmes...the Easton Assassin...

I wanted him to break Marciano's record in the worst way...but that fucker Michael Spinks had to ruin that shit...

I followed Holmes for his whole career because of his relationship with Ali...which was good. He singlehandedly carried the IBF title...but dumped the WBC title in the process...

He defended that title though 20 times or so...and held it from 78 until...I think..1985 or 1986...which is the 2nd longest heavyweight reign to Joe Louis. fucking michael spinks...the bastard.

"Rocky Marciano couldn't hold my jockstrap..."

lmfao...

[POJO_Risin]

And as for overrated Lennox Lewis...

Title #1...the WBC crown...that he had to take out of a fucking garbage can...didn't even fight for it...and lost it to Oliver McCall...and no...I don't know who...

He sells his #1 contender's slot to fucking Tyson...who wins the belt...then dumps it again...and who's there to pick it up? Lewis...who fights McCall...McCall starts crying in the corner...and forced a DQ...given the title again...

Lewis later beat a used up Evander Holyfield for the IBF and WBC belts...

then he dumped those belts for refusing to fight John Ruiz...

then...loses to Hasim Rahman...beat Rahman...then Beat a past prime Tyson...Then he bitched and moaned and sued everyone...

then fought Klitschko...and the fight was called because of a cut...even though Klitschko was ahead on all cards...

and he retired...

Lewis sucks...period...

The Hawk...did he ever lose? I remember his war with Alexis Arguello...which I think was the fight of the 80's...

and wasn't there something about Pryor's corner using smelling salts or something to revive him? Either way..I think he beat Arguello again. A great fighter...that could never get...other than the Arguello fight...THE BIG ONE. Mancini lost I think before their scheduled fight...

and Bramble did as well...

Yeah his cornerman was stuffing SOMETHING up his nose....

Member Holmes' fight with Randall "Tex" Cobb??

Holmes beat the shit outta him for 15 rounds and Cobb absorbed every fuckin punch. Lost every round.

Cobb said after the fight that if it woulda went another 15, he woulda won it. Cobb...lol...best chin ever.

Now those 2 are best friends.

And Tex Cobb is a pimp.

[DlocRoth]

Hate Lewis...

Friend of mine, who's also an "expert" thinks he's a technician.

Argue about it every time we watch a fight..

[POJO_Risin]

Technician my ass...there isn't any of the top 20 heavy's of all time that couldn't beat Lewis...past their prime...

[POJO_Risin]

Randall Tex Cobb...

and he acted...

what the hell was the name of that movie with Gene Hackman he was in and got blown up in...

Uncommon Valor I think...

and of course...Ace Ventura...

[DlocRoth]

Yep... don't forget Raising Arizona..

[POJO_Risin]

Oh shit...that's right...gotta rerent that...haven't seen it in ages...

talk about a tomato can...

that was the infamous "other bottle..the one i mixed" match...vs. Arguello..he came out like a house of fire and knocked Arguello OUT!!

definately something in that bottle besides water..but the guy was a buzzsaw..he lost once near the end of his career..he was 39-1 (11-0 in title fights)
coked up or not..a very bad man..

I dunno if it was that, or VH1/ESPN Classics...one of 'em busted out "No Mas" the other week.

I was about to mention Duran...he was a mean motherfucker....chile relleno's ruined him.

[Matt White]

I agree with POJO's list,but with two minor exceptions:

I'd put DURAN over Chavez. Duran was the MAN in the late 70's. A dynamo.

And my #1 of all time.

THE BROWN BOMBER, JOE LOUIS.
Just a little more background:
"He was a world champion for 11 years and 10 months, after which he left his crown vacant. He set records for any division in number of defenses and longetivity as world champion non stop, and both records still stand"

And I remember he had what was called "The Bum of the month tour", fighting a different opponent every month for an extended period.

Grate list POJO!!!!!

Dude looks like Dom Delouise!!

I agree that I maybe have Chavez a little to high...and I'd even give the Duran nod ahead of him...but Duran couldn't go in front of Hearns, Haglar or Leonard...

as for Louis...yeah...he held the belt for 11 years...and gave it up...but...

his defense list isn't really what it's cracked up to be...when he joined the service...he fought hundreds of exhibitions that weren't defenses...and when he came out of the service...many of his fights were title defenses...

I'm not knocking Louis...as far as heavyweights go...I'd say he's #2 on the list behind Ali...but the 11 years is a bit overblown...
