On the occasion of the 80th birthday of the boxing king Ali, the British boxing archive network launched a list, ranking the list of the 20 greatest boxing kings in history, let's see who they are.
It is worth mentioning that the boxing champion Tyson is only ranked 14th, and Lewis, who once KO Tyson, ranked 3rd, which is a very good ranking. Ukraine's Krychenko brothers are on the list, which is gratifying.
Before we emphasize, the current heavyweight triple crown champion Usik and the boxing king Ali are actually the same birthday, both on January 17, of course, the year is 45 years apart. In other words, if the boxing king Ali is alive, he will be 80 years old, and Uzik will only be 35 years old.
Okay, let's take a look at this list.
American boxing senior Jack Dempsey is ranked 20th, American boxing champion Ridic Bowe, nicknamed "Big Daddy", is 19th, Dr. Vitaly Klitschenko of Ukraine is 18th, and Swedish boxing champion Ingmar Johnson is 17th. Russian Alexander Povitkin is ranked 16th.
Speaking of which, it should be emphasized that this list is only calculated by the British Boxing Archives Network according to its own points rules, and has little to do with some other factors outside the field, which is also their family's words, and the authority is debatable. For example, Can Powittkin be ranked ahead of the big gram? This is obviously unfair. In terms of the influence of boxing, Dake must have surpassed Povitkin.
WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury is ranked 15th, and this ranking is not low. It's just that one thing, everyone else is a retired boxer, and Fury is still playing, so it's a bit inappropriate to arrange him in now. Probably because the website is a British website, Fu Li is also an outstanding British boxing king, and there is a suspicion of "getting the moon first near the water tower".
The famous boxing champion Mike Tyson is only ranked 14th, and it is said that Tyson's influence and achievements may be low in this position, after all, it is the youngest triple crown in history, and the influence is beyond imagination. Could it be that Tyson lost too many games later?
American Boxing Champion Joe Fraser is ranked 13th, American Boxing Champion Jersey Joe Wolcott is ranked 12th, Devil George Foreman is 11th, Stingmaster Larry Holmes is 10th, American Sonny Liston is 9th, and American Jean Downey is 8th.
Obviously, Walcott and Downey seem to be on the high side of the rankings, how can they be compared to George Foreman?
Ukraine's Hammer Doctor Vladimir Klitschenko ranked 7th, which is also well deserved, after all, Xiao Ke has dominated the heavyweight for nearly a decade. American legend Evand Hollyfield ranked 6th, Rocky Marciano, who won 49 games and 43 KO games, ranked 5th, and Tyson's brother and disciple of D'Amato, Floyd Patterson, ranked 4th. The great British authority Lennox Lewis ranked 3rd, which is quite a remarkable ranking, Lewis defeated all the masters of the same period, and the strength is indeed beyond ordinary people.
American boxing champion Joe Luiz is ranked 2nd, with a professional record of 69 wins, 3 losses and 55 KO opponents, known as the Brown Bomber. From 1937 to 1948, the ruler was heavyweight and powerful. The number one person in the rankings came, and he was Muhammad Ali.
Obviously, no one is greater than The Boxer Ali.
Ali is not only a legend in the world of boxing, but also a legend in the world of sports. In 1999, he was named "Athlete of the Century" by Sports Illustrated and "Sport of the Century" by the BBC.
Ali's most famous match was ko foreman in 8 rounds of the "Jungle Battle" in Congo, which caused an uproar among the 60,000 spectators on the scene. An estimated 1 billion people around the world watched the match, making it the most watched live television broadcast at the time.
Finally, let us wish Muhammad Ali a happy birthday! 【Text/Fighting Jianghu】
