Best heavyweights since 1960

[Stevie G]

Best heavyweight threads have come up a lot over the course of time. I thought I'd narrow the range a bit. My top 10 since 1960 are as follows - 1)Muhammad Ali 2)Larry Holmes 3)George Foreman 4)Joe Frazier 5) Sonny Liston 6)Lennox Lewis 7)Evander Holyfield 8)Mike Tyson 9) Ken Norton 10)Floyd Patterson. I had no problem at all choosing number 1. Positions 2-4,I'm always changing my mind about. The same applies to 5-8. I realise that Ken Norton in ninth position may raise a few eyebrows,but I've always rated the guy highly. Let the passionate debate commence :good

Too true,Turpin ! Sometimes I feel that Marciano would be up there too,depending on what mood I'm in..!

You forgot Marciano, Dempsey, Wills, Johnson and Jeffries. All worthy of a top10 nomination.
