Waxing lyrical about all these boxers yet no one has mentioned the only undefeated champion 49 fights 49 wins in total and held the title from 1952 to 1956 before retiring to spend more time with his family .. the original rocky .. marciano
And for what my opinion is worth Casius Clay would have mullered Tyson .. too fast too mobile for Tyson.. hence why he is widely regarded as THE GREATEST
That's the great debate ain't it .. Louis or Clay .. I'd go for Clay every time but I know people have differing views
I think you can safely say few people would fancy facing Mike Tyson in his prime
There weren't many who fancied facing Foreman in his prime until Clay stepped in and beat him .. Foreman in his prime was an unbelievably hard hitter but Clay just took it all before rubber dub dubbing him
This Clay calling sits uneasy with me, if you have any respect for the man you wouldn't call him that.
Yeah, and his views on that were very clear. It was given to his family by slave owners and it meant nothing to him other than insult.
If you use it, it's an insult.
I've met Frank Bruno, Lennox Lewis and Mike Tyson.
Bruno and Lewis were massive, but very easy going and friendly, Tyson was scary, the bloke exudes danger.

But light by today's standards. Mentioned it before but my dad's highlight of his time in the navy in the war was shaking the hand of Joe Louis, his boxing hero when in Italy.
He could do anything though. He had it all. He fought some big men as well. I've watched probably every available bit of footage there is of him and I'd give him a shot against anyone
