Past or Present, the popularity of fighters who've fallin from the top, only to rise back to it, out weighs the significance of the FEW fighters who's records remained Un-beat, yet far more recognition is given to the FLAWED fighters than the FLAWLESS fighter.
Is there something wrong here? Notably Retired Unbeaten Rocky Marciano Joe Calzagie Ricardo Lopez Jimmy Barry Laszlo Papp Terry Marsh Notably Retired Greats Muhammad Ali Joe Louis Ray Robinson Floyd Patterson Sonny Liston Willy Pepp Jack Demsey George Foreman Joe Frazier Mike Tyson Ray Leonard Marvin Hagler Tommy Hearns Roberto Duran Julio Ceasar Chavez Lennox Lewis Parnell Whitaker Arron Pryor... To name a few This post has been edited by Gambit808: Sep 28 2012, 07:11 AM |

Notably Retired Unbeaten Rocky Marciano Joe Calzagie Ricardo Lopez Jimmy Barry Laszlo Papp Terry Marsh Notably Retired Greats Muhammad Ali - no one thought he'd beat liston or foreman. Joe Louis - he avenged his loss to schmeling and broke the record for title defenses and held the title for 10 or 11 yrs. Ray Robinson - his body of work speaks for itself Floyd Patterson - youngest heavyweight champ ever (during his time) Sonny Liston - annihilated the competition Willy Pepp - longevity...he fought everyone and beat his nemisis Jack Demsey - first of his kind. he birthed his style George Foreman - blew the competition away...no one took his comeback seriously. his win over moorer is one for the ages Joe Frazier - first guy to beat the great muhammad ali Mike Tyson - youngest heavyweight champ ever, annihilated his competition Ray Leonard - ray has wins over all time greats and won when he wasn't supposed to over hagler Marvin Hagler - dominated his division and has wins over atg's Tommy Hearns - 5 weight division champion who has wins over atg's Roberto Duran - reigned for 10yrs at lightweight...won when he wasn't supposed to on more than one occasion Julio Ceasar Chavez - longevity with wins over solid opposition Lennox Lewis - doesn't belong on this list Parnell Whitaker - perfection. win over chavez is probably his best...but u could argue that his only legit loss was to trinidad. i don't count his last fight. Arron Pryor - 2 wins over the great alexis arguello |
