Although I would never underestimate Rocky,and how anyone can say the guy isnt in the top 5 of all time is beyond me. Sure,guys like Ali,Holmes and Foreman would have been too much for Rock. However,aside from those three,I think he has a good shot against anyone. I think he would blast Lewis out in a hurry. Just my opinion,but I dont think Lewis is a top 10 all-time guy. As for Tyson,when ranking fighters on an all-time basis,I think you have to take everything into consideration..the entire career,and Rocky is unequaled in that respect. That being said,in a fight between the two with both in their prime..I think it would have been an absolute fury. Sort of Hearns/Hagler the heavyweight version. It may have simply come down to who landed the first shot flush. Rocky had the better chin,but Tyson was much faster. Great matchup. My top 5 all-time heavyweights.
1) Ali
2) Holmes
3) Louis
4)Foreman
5) Marciano
