Top Seven Greatest Boxers Of All Time

By Mattie MacDonald


Boxing can be described as a combat sport that entails two people engaging each other in a contest of strength, speed, endurances, reflexes and will. The contestants throw punches against each other with gloved hands. Amateur boxing is an Olympic and commonwealth sport that is also a common fixture in many major international games. Since boxing is a popular sport of all times, this article unfolds some of the greatest boxers of all time.

To begin with, is the household name, mike Tyson. He is one of the most outstanding powerful boxers, dominating the era beginning 1985 to 2005. Tyson has been a legendary boxer of his time. In fact, in the early 90s, he was regarded as an unbeatable boxer that knocked out all the contenders that came in front of him. The fighter has a record of 50 wins, 44 of which were direct knockouts. He only lost 6 matches. Tyson has been the most spoken of boxer of all time, eliciting a sensational park in many.

Consistency is another factor that falls into play. Though Mike Tyson reigned for 3 solid years, he never went on to win a great heavyweight who happened to be in their peak. It is thus critical to appreciate that prize fighting dates back to Ancient Greece and has evolved with time. Fighters in the 18th and 19th century often fought 20 to 30 times annually. This statistic is crucial when compiling a top list. The list below is thus a boxing contest and not a popularity one.

Archie Moore is on record with the highest number of ring knock outs (131). He first came out in the year 1935 and struggled for numerous years to earn himself a living during the time black boxers were normally shunned from getting opportunities reserved to the whites. He however never yield in but snatched the lightweight championship title at 36. On overall, he prides himself of signature victories over Bobo Olson, Joey Maxim, Giulio Rinaldi and Yvon Durelle.

Pancho Villa is, out of doubt, the most profound Asian boxer to ever participate in the fight. The former flyweight champion was brilliant by all aspects. Villa defeated the tough Jimmy who was popularly seen as the greatest British boxing export. He wowed and entertained the American audience with unique set of punches. He will surely remain unforgotten.

Roberto Duran. In his prime he was the hardest animal one can review. In the last round of his epic experience with Leonard he, declined to touch gloves with the brilliant kid, rather looking on with hatred and revulsion. Fans really adored this mentality despite the fact that Ray was the most mainstream thing since Sinatra.

Though he never caught the admiration of the public, Gene Tunney was a brilliant master of the ring. He was also pretty much educated as evidenced in his socializing with the members of American Intelligentsia. In his era, he outsmarted Dempsey(two times) and Harry Greb (4 times).

Muhammad Ali. To put it basically, he was the best heavyweight ever. Ali presumably had the best button and heart in the diversion. George Foreman, Sonny Liston, Joe Frazier, Floyd Patterson, Ken Norton, Jimmy Ellis and Leon Spinks all lost to Ali. What's most amazing other than the nature of his victimized people is the truth Ali was past his crest after 1970 yet in any case he figured out how to win.
