Ok, i'll kick things off with my top 10 heavyweights of 'all time'

1. Mohammed Ali
2. Joe Louis
3. Rock Marciano
4. Larry Holmes
5. Jack Johnson
6. George Foreman
7. Joe Frazier
8. Jack Dempsey
9. Lennox Lewis
10.Evander Holyfield

Apologies to blokes like Wladimir Klitschke and Mike Tyson.

For me you can basically toss a coin btw Joe Louis and Ali.

As for the best boxer of 'all time' i would go with Sugar Ray Robinson (Welterweight/Middleweight)

I posted my top 10 in another thread a few years ago:

1. Muhammad Ali
2. Joe Louis
3. Rocky Marciano
4. George Foreman
5. Gene Tunney
6. Jack Dempsey
7. Jess Willard
8. James Jeffries
9. Jack Johnson
10. Larry Holmes

Heavyweight boxing took a real nosedive in popularity once Lennox Lewis retired, outside of Russia anyways. As a result fighters are going into MMA and the division's heyday is well gone at this point.

I think the most dominating boxer of all time was Mike Tyson.

But just because he was so dominating doesn't mean he was the best.

An impressive effort by Anthony Joshua who stopped Charles Martin in two rounds to win the IBF heavyweight title (in only his 16th professional fight).

It's a shame Anderson Silva didnt retire after his first loss to Chris Weidman.

I also reckon that Georges St-Pierre shouldnt seek a comeback. He has a hell of a record and has nothing to prove.

Speaking of boxing and MMA.. McGregor and Mayweather is looking like it might actually happen (fingers crossed). If it does happen, how do you guys see this going down?
