Tyson Fury, who is probably the best heavyweight boxer in the world right now, has been proving that claim to be justified. Fury defeated the Bronze Bomber Deontay Wilder in a three-game battle to win the 31st game of his career. After the game, Fury said he was the best heavyweight of the era and claimed he had a near-perfect record as a backing.
There is no doubt that the Briton Tyson Fury is definitely a heavyweight giant today! So, can he become a great man of history at that level? After Tyson Fury vs Wilder 3, DAZN (Sports Digital Media) has compiled a list of the 10 greatest heavyweight boxers of all time, in no particular order, as follows:
Rocky Marciano - Known for his endurance and immense percussion power, Stallone has made films based on Rocky. Loch Masiano is the only heavyweight boxer to retire without losing a single game, and his professional record is 49 wins and 43 KO, never losing in his life!
Tyson Fury - So far, the Gypsy king has established his historical position, and we are likely to see him more dominant in the coming years.
Joe Louis – nicknamed "Brown Bomber", is a devil-like presence to his opponents, as evidenced by the fact that he has been the world heavyweight boxer for 12 years, defending his title 25 times, the most defended of all heavyweights!
George Foreman – An Olympic gold medalist before becoming a professional boxer, George was one of the most feared boxers of the '70s, with a professional record of 81-76 wins, 5 losses and 68 KO opponents!
Joe Frazier – The first boxer to defeat Muhammad Ali, known as the God of Left Hooks, he excelled at confusing his opponents with the swaying of his body and head, hitting deadly heavy punches, while constantly roaring and roaring as he moved, nicknamed "Smokey Joe" to describe him as a locomotive that whistled and puffed smoke.
Larry Holmes – Former WBC, IBF and The Ring heavyweight champion, known as the "Easton Assassins", has successfully defended the heavyweight title 19 times in a row.
Mike Tyson - One of the most intimidating boxers in history and the youngest heavyweight champion. He destroyed the heavy punches of the decay, which made countless heavyweight boxers shudder!
Ivan Horrifield - Tyson, who has twice beaten boxer Tyson, is also the boxer who has won the undisputed world championship in both the sub-heavyweight and heavyweight classes, and this feat of his has only now been broken by Ukrainian boxing champion Usik!
Lennox Lewis - As his nickname suggests, the Englishman was a lion in the ring and the undisputed world heavyweight champion in his heyday.
Muhammad Ali - While there is no ranking on this list, most people would list Ali as the number one heavyweight of all time. Ali's legacy is almost unmatched by anyone.
