    Who do you have as you No3 HW and why?

    It seems Ali and Louis are just leagues above everyone else and from then on, a mad scramble ensues for the remaining places in the Top 10 with almost any order being regarded as acceptable.

    I'm hoping to stir up an insightful debate here, so people can have references when compling their own Top 10 Heavyweight lists.

    My no.3 changes from day too day to be honest,you can make a case for any of the guys in the poll too have that spot,some cases stronger than others,as of right now i have Foreman at number 3,the guy was a monster in his prime and made a comeback when he was 40+ and he was competitive with and beat some top level guys around at the time

      i use to put larry.

      but i've been put off by all his talk and bs.

      plus the more i think about it 40+ yr. old foreman going toe to toe with holyfield and koing moorer was pretty special.


      i'll go with big george.

            I would have to say Larry Holmes. 20 title defenses in a 7 year time span. Granted his competition at the time wasn't the worse but he did have some signature fights in his career with Norton, Shavers, and Cooney.

              He was past prime and he clearly beat him in the rematch.

                I did have Jack Johnson #3 last time I did a list which was a while ago but I'm not quite so sure.

                Once upon a time it was Larry Holmes.

                I don't know to be honest.

                  I have Jack Johnson. Ahead of his time in terms of technique, great defense, loads of pure physical talent.

                    Resume not too shabby either in my book.

                    Strangely, It doesn't seem to be the consensus in here, though.
