Who do you have above him?

I dont think I could list a single favorite.

My dad was a yuge JCC fan, and I would become one as well. Might have to be my pick.

But Roy Jones JR, Big George, Diego Corrales, James Tony, Mickey Ward, Hagler, Roberto Duran are all up there for me.

He and Wilder are the 2 hardest Iā€™ve ever seen I think.

One shot, out cold.

Lennox Lewis. Was able to fight in so many ways. Didnt always rely on speed, didnt always rely on chin, didnt always rely on power. Just used his skills and whatever was needed each fight.

I donā€™t know about above him, for me it almost a three way tie with him, Shavers and probably Bob Foster as some of the hardest hitters ever.

I have an unpopular opinion. Iā€™ve watched that fight many, many times and I never see Hagler winning. He was foolish to give away rounds early and Ray knew how to play to the crowd and throw eye catching shots that won the judges at key moments of most rounds.

I think Evander Holyfield. He wasnā€™t very big but he had lots of heart. He had a great career and avenged most of his big loses

Holyfield couldā€™ve been one of the best CW in history. Instead he decided to be the 2nd best HW in his era to Lennox Lewis.

Tyson maybe 3rd.

If he was the greats CW no fucks would be given. He bulked up and head butted his way to the top in his era

Do you think Tyson like Holyfield or still hates him. He still complains about those headbutts 20 years later

Tyson is highly overrated and he knows it. People call him the goat and itā€™s fucking retarded.

Prime Tyson loses to Lennox and Holyfield more than he wins. I understand him being a fan favorite but an all time HW he is not.

Maybe unpopular, but the correct opinion (IMO lol). I SO wanted Hagler to win that fight, but squint and turn my head to the side to watch out of one eye as much as I can, there is no way I can give it to Hagler. SRL won it, as much as I hate to say it!

Thanks buddie!

That part at the end is very much speculation on your part. Maybe right, but still pure speculation.

Burning bright Tyson never beat Lennox or Holyfield.

Burning bright Tyson was average amongst all time greats.

Foreman wouldā€™ve beat any version of Tyson that ever existed like a child.

The Tyson that fought Holyfield and Lewis was a completely different fighter.

More of a slugger.

The young star Tyson was a super fast aggressive defensive fighter.

Not saying he would have beat them but his film looks totally different before and after prison.

If Cus lived another 5 years how much better would Mikes record be?

Vs foreman, yeah, Tyson was like a far faster and more explosive Joe Frazier, but not nearly as tough as Frazier.

Foreman just shoved Frazier back then teed off on him brutally.

Not sure if he could do that to a young Tyson or not.
