ednut1: Were you even alive in 86-91? Anyways he faced the best competition at his time, he knocked out a 31-0 champion named Spinx who was the toughest fighter at that time; youngest heavyweight champion in history, he knocked out Larry Holmes who defeated Muhammad Ali. Know your history son! |

Whobedatte: Larry Holmes was old and past it when he fought Tyson. On a heavyweight all time list he is one of the greatest as good or better than Ali Tyson did avoid some fights ,notably Riddick Bowe ,Oliver McCall, Michael Moorer and Lewis for a long time Holyfield beat and lost to Riddick Bowe 1-2 and Michael Moorer 1-1 Riddick Bowe would have humiliated Tyson but Tyson said he could not fight him because they were friends. Michael Spinks had no business in the Heavyweight division. Lennox Lewis is one of the greatest and most underrated heavyweights 4 Likes |

abbey621:Larry Holmes was old ,a FORMER champion on a COMEBACK trail. Question is why he never fought Lennox Lewis,Holyfield, Riddick Bowe, Michael Moorer, Oliver McCall in that period you mention Why was he fighting Buster Douglas Jnr instead of Holyfield? Tyson was good but he was also a cash cow for Don King used to scam the public. He avoided fights with key people of similar age to himself before going to prison |

You could call Mayweather the most successful boxer of all time but never the Greatest. Besides he was too defensive, his aim for most of the time was to record more points than his opponents. My Boxing GOAT is most definitely Iron Mike Tyson. For 3 main reasons; 1. He had a size disadvantage compared to other heavy weights who were much bigger than him. Despite this he took the fight to them. 2. I never saw Mike on the defensive, he always attacked. 3. His early knock out numbers were just insane and crazy. Early knockouts! 4 Likes |

omonnakoda: Mehn you really don't know how boxing works do you? You fight the number 1 contender and some scrubs. Holyfield's prime was before Tyson's prime so how could they face each other? Holyfield was a cruiserweight champion while Tyson fought as heavyweight, how could they meet? It was not until after Tyson went to prison and Holyfield added some weight that they both were in the same class. DO YOU SEE NOW THAT YOU KNOW NOTHING? 1 Like |

Whobedatte:stop saying nonsense. Those people up there are great no doubt... But before you can consider something as the greatest.. it simply means the "most accomplish".. so considering that he never had any defeat in his career, he's simply the greatest of all time.. so stop say blabbing to make a pointless point |
Re: Floyd Mayweather Jnr Rated Greatest Boxer Of All Time by joeyfire(m): 6:59am On Jun 02, 2020 |
Floyd is one of the best boxers but he dodged fights with stronger opponents like Pacqiaou until they were too old and when he was faced with opponents who could beat him he used dirty tricks. How could Oscar De La Hoya make this list and Sugar Ray Leonard did not? 2 Likes |

people with no boxing knowledge posting nonsense. Even the list controversial, there is no particular favourite amongst boxing fans who is the greatest of all time. Mayweather is about the only complete boxer/puncher with an excellent defence until he damaged his hand. Roy Jone was a great boxer/puncher with a very weak chin. the list of the greatest boxers will always depend on who is .compiling |
