Boxing Title Belts Fighters
Apr/090
Is Ali’s place as the greatest heavyweight in history in serious jeopardy?
This past friday, a 44 year old Real Deal surprised the whole boxing community with his win over a serious, younger fighter and his winning of an important regional title.
Holyfield’s shot at a 5th title is probably going to happen. It could not have come at a better time in boxing history. The division is the most vulnerable it’s ever been, with a group of Ivan Drago wannabes holding the three major belts.
If Evander just gets to fight for his 5th title, it’s an accomplishment itself.
If he can pull it off, if he can win just one of the three major titles, do we seriously have to consider him the greatest heavyweight in history, over and above Ali?
Evander has also gone 15 rounds.
smitty – that’s an amazing answer. Probably going to be best answer. I have Evander in my top 5 of all time right now. Number 4 behind Holmes and ahead of Louis.
Of those guys on your list, I think Evander beats them all, except for Foreman and Holmes, in their respective primes.
Brad you are beginning to suffer from boxing dementia. The same thing is going to happen to Holyfield if he doesn’t retire. In sports, age is the great equalizer.
Brent – Ali did give Norton a title shot in 1976. I hope you were kidding when you said Holyfield could be ranked behind Ali at #2. If not, you are suffering from to many blows to the head or feedback from asking about the same “Dream Bouts”
To both of you – How many of these fighters could Holyfield beat from the following list: Louis, Rocco, Johnson, Holmes, Dempsey, Foreman, Liston and Frazier in their primes.
Holyfield could never be equal to Ali. He couldn’t carry Ali’s shoes or trunks.
P.S. Holyfield says that he won’t retire until God tells him to.
Let tell you a story – There once was a man that was drowning in a flood. He refused help because he said that God would help him. He drowned and in heaven he asked God why he didn’t help him. St. Peter told him that all those boats that he had refused. had come from God.
