Why Lennox accepted that fight in the first place beats me. He was clearly unfit(never seen him carry that much timber to a fight) and demotivated. That said, He was still to inflict so much damage to that eye.

And yh He had one heck of a chin on him. Marvellous probably had the best chin considering the quality opponents he faced.



Tommy Hearn vastly underrated imo.

Aareonakakanfo:




I agree 100% with you regarding hearns. Hearns alongside hagler,monzon,johnson,ezzard charles,archie moore and Gans will surely make my top 30

chic2pimp:


DefinitelyBro. I think a lot has to do with the era He fought in with likes of Sugar Ray,Marvellous and Duran. He would be viewed as a demi god had He fought in this era

Aareonakakanfo:



He was like those small teams who know how to defeat big teams but don't do well against those in their own level

Norton was legit. Took some losses he shouldn't havw

Aareonakakanfo:


True. he was good but i think he lost his status after those back to back losses against Ali and foreman

True. I remember telling someone recently that none of these current crop of boxers would have survived 5 rounds of Hearns/Hagler talkless of Duran.Boxing is more like comedy these days especially the heavyweight category.Pure bullch!t! deontay is bringing back memories though but he can't do it alone. We need like 4 of him to bring back the much needed spark heavyweight boxing use to have

A40:

Hagler woulda killed Mayweather, De La Hoya and Pacman

A40:

He had been accused of ducking fights for a while so I guess he just felt compelled to do so. Anyone can get a cut eye to be honest and Vitali was leading up till that point. Hearns is massively underrated, Riddick Bowe as well

chic2pimp:


Most fighters have been accused of judging fights since time immemorial. From Ali to Sugar Ray to Floyd. People will always throw around that accusation.He was definitely leading but guess what it was an unfit and overweight Lennox punches that did the damage. Don't know about Bowe but Hearns man. How can anybody watch that man fight and come to one resounding conclusion?....LEGEND!

tuffgongjo:
If Marvin Marvelous Hagler ain't n the list then it is shit,as simple as that.

Chai Nigerians ooo! So because i don't have hagler in my list then that makes it shyt? shuh Then you might as well say bert sugar's list is shyt for not including Foreman in his top 10 heavyweights list

A40:
To be honest i have a hard time taking serious any top 10 heavyweight list without George Foreman in it

Aareonakakanfo:



That's boxing for you. Even Nat fliescher didn't include foreman in his list but i will give him the benefit of a doubt because he died in 1972 that's the mid part of foreman's career. I'll soon create a thread on the different lists by top boxing historians and see what you guys have to say about it

A40:


To be fair lists are highly sentimental in nature anyway. However Foreman was a two-time champion with an 83% K.O percentage. He fought the best opponents of his time who figured to be among the top 20 heavyweight fighters of all-time and only lost to one. They never had a rematch so we would never know. Maybe his fighting style was not romantic enough but I just think Foreman is up there with the best. The man was a monster
