>>738436I'm very aware Tyson was not one of the ATGs ever for pretty much the exact reasons you gave. I think most people want to give him the benefit of the doubt by saying "if Cus had lived longer . . ." It's well known (as you made abundantly clear) that when he was challenged by anyone that wasn't intimidated by his reputation and who could out box him, he was soundly defeated. That alone eliminates him from any ATG list.
>>738439Again, I'm not hugely knowledgeable in styles nor the technical aspect since I'm still learning, but here goes:
>>Tyson v AliAli, hands down. He was not afraid of aggression and had the technical expertise and speed to neutralize Tyson.
>>Tyson v V KlitsckoSame as vs Ali.
>>Ali v LouisHonestly I don't know much about Joe Louis other than him being a highly celebrated heavyweight. I would take a guess though that since boxing evolved quite a bit between those two (as I understand it, the idea of finesse with defense became more prominent after Louis' time) that Ali would have the advantage.
>>Marciano v ForemanI love Marciano, but from what I know Foreman ate guys like him alive (someone who charges in and tries to slug away). Isn't that how he beat Frazier?
>>Frazier v LewisI feel stupid for having to ask this, but are you asking about Lennox Lewis or Joe Lewis? If I remember right, Lennox was a technical genius, but otherwise I don't know much else about him and I have no clue who would win between Frazier and Louis, but I would love to see it happen.
>>No, Theres 4 world titles in each division. I always found that stupid. It makes winning a belt almost meaningless when there's three others that also claim to be the world champion.
Thanks again for all of the feedback!
