2. Marciano
3. Foreman
4. Frazier
5. Holyfield
6. Tyson
Their is definitely some better Heavyweights not on this list. Joe Louis was as famous, and Lewis, and Holmes are some of the greatest ever, but to rank just the list I would say
1.Ali
2.A early 20's Tyson
3.Foreman
4.Frazier
5.Holyfield
6.Marciano- He was only 180 pounds.
1. Ali
2. Foreman
3. Frazier
4. Holyfield
5. Tyson
6. Marciano
1. Ali
2. Marciano
3. Tyson
4. Frazier
5. Foreman
6. Holyfield
ps; these aren't the most famous heavyweights of all time. Joe Louis, Jack Dempsey and several other men were obviously more famous than Holyfield, Foreman, Rocky & Frazier.
Where is Joe Louis.................Definitely near the very top ahead of Holyfield, Tyson and Frazier. Also, remember Rocky beat a retired, come backing 37 year old Louis, not the prime Louis.
Ali beats Frazier and Foreman, Foreman beats Frazier. Marciano at 184 lbs, fighting old men and light heavies would have a very difficult time with all of these guys IMO and Liston would beat all but Ali. Maybe the Liston of 59-60, when actually in his prime would have done so much better.
Joe Louis, Dempsey, Lennox Lewis and Jack Johnson were even more polarising and popular than these guys.
In order:
Ali
Foreman
Holyfield
Marciano
Tyson
Frazier
Ali, Rocky, Foreman, Holyfield, Frazier, Tyson
Muhammad Ali
George foreman
Joe frazier
Evander holyfield
Rocky marciano
Mike tyson
On the best, it has to be:
01. Muhammad Ali - Skill wise he was revolutionary, first three time heavyweight world champion, fought the best and beat the best. Nuff said.
02. Foreman - Feared puncher. Was DESTROYING the top contenders of the best era of heavyweights (1970's), his comeback further cemented his legacy as he became the oldest heavyweight champion in history.
03. Frazier - True warrior. No fighter applied pressure like him, he was a machine, he gave Ali some of his toughest and brutal fights ever.
04. Holyfield - He's made so many accomplishments. But his ring-smarts, heart and ability to beat the likes of Tyson, Moorer, Bowe, Foreman, etc put him as one of the best.
05. Tyson - Waste of talent. But very good in his prime, technically he was brilliant and youngest heavyweight champion ever at 20.
06. Marciano - Questionable record, why'd he never fight Liston? But undefeated and heart of a lion.
1.Joe Louis (sorry, you missed the best one)
2.Ali or Marciano, take your pick.
3.Foreman
4.Frazier
5.Holyfield
6.Tyson
not necessarily on which you just like more, but more on who actually the better fighters were..heres what i mean, Tyson is my favorite boxer, but of course i know he isnt the very best
rank these boxers,these are definitely the 6 most famous heavywieghts of all time Ali, Frazier, Foreman, Tyson, Holyfield, Marciano
