8 MAN HEAVYWEIGHT TOURNAMENT........ELITE GREATS!!?

Posted at: 2015-04-20 
Round 1

1. Gene Tunney vs Ezzard Charles. Both are all time great Light Heavyweights for sure, and it would also be a great fight between two very skilled fighters, however, I'm leaning towards Tunney by split decision.

2. Joe Frazier vs Jack Johnson. Styles make fights, and if Frazier beat Muhammad Ali in their first fight, I believe he could beat Johnson.

Frazier TKO11.

3. Evander Holyfield vs Rocky Marciano. I think Marciano would be a little too small. He could catch Holyfield with some good shots, but Holyfield can take it with his great chin. Holyfield then wears him out and hurts him late in the fight, stopping him.

Holyfield TKO14.

4. Jack Dempsey vs Ken Norton. This one is simple. Norton always had trouble with the punchers, and Dempsey could punch pretty hard.

Dempsey KO2.

Round 2

1. Gene Tunney vs Evander Holyfield. In a great boxing match between two tacticians, both men will land very accurately against each other, but Holyfield will come out victorious, winning a unanimous decision victory.

2. Joe Frazier vs Jack Dempsey. In an all out war, Frazier wins a decision over Dempsey. I don't believe Dempsey can do what George Foreman did.

Frazier UD15.

Finals

Evander Holyfield vs Joe Frazier. Truly a tough one to decide, but I'm leaning more towards Holyfield, by split decision. Much like the Ali fights for Frazier.

BQ: Jack Dempsey vs Gene Tunney. Lol, they already did fight, twice, with Tunney winning both. One more time, I believe Dempsey would've gotten Tunney, after all he should've won but we all know the long count happened.

Dempsey TKO14.

Evander wins it all. My reasoning is simple. Holyfield had the skills and physical strength and athleticism of his 7 opponents. His advantage, however, is his physical preparation using modern training techniques like weights, cybex machines and plyometric exercise routines. This gives him the edge in strength and athleticism.

rocky Marciano . the man was unstoppable !!

he wasn't the most talented by a long way , but he was simply harder , fitter , and hungrier than all those put together !!
