  1. dempsey

    marciano (tie: difficult to separate the top two here)

    frazier

    tyson


  2. Thumbs up to Chuck i also think Marciano would be top. Second place is the hardest to call but i would give the edge to Dempsey and Frazier who would be third just behind him with Tyson MILES behind in 4th place.

  3. To those that list Tyson first, Did he ever beat ANYBODY the was considered a high quality heavyweight, in their prime?

    #1, Marciano Wins - Walcott, E. Charles, Walcott.

    #2, Dempsey - Wins - Willard, Sharkey   Lost Tunney

    #3 Frazier - Win Ali, Ellis 2x, Quarry 2x, Bugner. Lost Foreman 2x, Ali 2x

    #4 Tyson - Wins - Tucker, Raddock, Lost Douglas, Holyfield, Lewis.

    I dismissed Marciano's win vs Louis because Louis was old

    I dismissed Tyson's wins over Holmes, (old) and Spinks was a blown up Lightheavy.

    Marciano did nothing but win

    Dempsey has wins over quality opponents

    Frazier has a win over Ali & his losses were against other "all-time fighters"

    Tyson beat no great fighters in their prime. I dismissed his last 2 losses, due to his age and circus like lifestyle. But he still has a loss to B. Douglas(journeyman) and Lewis and Holyfield.

  4. Thumbs up to RJJ fan and maurice, I agree.

  5. By a combination of skill at their peak and career accomplishments:

    1. Tyson

    2. Marciano

    3. Dempsey

    4. Frazier

  6. Dempsey

    Marciano
