<span style="font-size: large;">1) Joe Louis</span></h2>
<div class="txtd" id="txtd_6224162">
<h3>
<span style="font-size: large;">Record:</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-size: large;">Won 66 Lost 3, 52 KO (66-3)</span></h3>
<span style="font-size: large;">Boxing Era: 1934-1951</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Known as “The Brown Bomber”, Joe Louis was an American Icon. He was 
clearly a shining star head and shoulders above the rest in his time. He
 couldn’t lose. Joe Louis only had 1 legitimate loss against Germany’s 
Max Schmeling which he later avenged in a sensational and historical 1st
 round KO. Joe Louis single-handedly dismantled the Nazi image of 
invincibility and sent a direct and powerful check mate to Hitler. He 
gave his country a more than sensational day to remember.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Joe Louis became an American hero and symbol of national pride, and 
African-American pride. During this time of world war and racial 
inequality in America, Joe Louis was larger than boxing. Many of Joe 
Louis’ fights had unparalleled international, political, and social 
significance. All across the nation, droves of people were glued to 
their radios and would explode into the streets upon many of his 
victories.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Because of the times, that type of fervor for boxing or for one 
athlete will most likely never be seen again. He was the first 
African-American boxer to be an American hero for whites, blacks and all
 Americans.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The rest of his only 3 losses came after his fall from grace. Once a 
proud symbol of patriotism, he was railroaded with taxes and severely in
 debt. This happened to him even despite donating his celebrity, money, 
morale, free exhibition matches and enlistment to the United States 
military in earlier years. Consequently, he was forced to keep fighting 
passed his retirement. With difficulty, Louis still managed to win 
because of who he was, but suffered a pair of losses, including an 
embarrassing 8th round knock out right through the ropes by a fresh, up 
and coming Rocky Marciano. Regardless, the nation will never stop and 
give another boxer as much acclamation as Joe Lewis in 1938.</span></div>

<h2 class="subtitle">
<span style="font-size: large;">Record: 56 wins 37 KO 5 losses (56-5)</span></h2>
<div class="txtd" id="txtd_6224450">
<span style="font-size: large;">Boxing Era: 1960-1981</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">In every aspect of the sport, Muhammad Ali was electrifying. Ali was 
an exciting, outspoken, undefeated boxing phenomenon in is prime and was
 by far boxing's best entertainer. Ali would often taunt his opponents, 
fake punches, and do his famous shuffles in the ring. He was also just 
as good a boxing promoter as he was a boxer; his loud mouth trash talk, 
and rhyming antics were truly larger than life and unprecedented in the 
sport.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Eventually Ali was stripped of the heavyweight title, banned from 
boxing, and faced imprisonment during his prime for refusing to fight in
 Vietnam because of his religious beliefs.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This was Ali’s most controversial moment. Ali’s rise to dominance in 
the boxing world came after the careers of African-American Champions 
Jack Johnson, and Joe Louis, and many African-Americans still held 
resentment for the Nation's treatment of them. Jack Johnson was always 
kept down and discredited. Joe Louis was a hero but still was betrayed 
and derailed with taxes. Muhammad Ali was a strong, confident, and a new
 kind of African-American heavyweight champ encased in many of the 
controversies of the 60’s. The country tried to shame him as an 
unpatriotic draft evader for not fighting in Vietnam, but Ali had a very
 serious argument that reverberated all over the world. He voiced his 
disapproval of the reasons, or lack there of, why we were at war in the 
first place. Primarily he made note of his own people being denied 
rights, jailed and discriminated against. He noted with disgust that his
 people, even African-American women were being unfairly treated and 
oppressed, hunted by police, attacked by dogs and hosed down like 
animals in the street. He asked why he should be forced to fight for a 
country that hasn’t even given his people their rights and equality at 
home yet, all to help murder and oppress other people of color 10,000 
miles away. One of his famous one-liners was “No Vietcong ever called me
 N****r.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Ali returned despite that huge 3 year set back, rebounded and still 
found a way to emerge on top again beating the best of the best.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Ali brought us the most famous fights in boxing and in one of sports 
most action packed and competitive eras. He got the best of the 
exchanges with Joe Frasier, George Foreman, Ken Norton, and Leon 
Spinks----and he still found a way to do it when he was no longer 
invincible, after his prime. Most of his post-prime fights are all 
legendary and we know some of them by their nicknames like “The Thrilla 
in Manilla”, “The Rumble in the Jungle”.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Ali was already a living legend but catapulted into all time boxing 
supremacy after dismantling a young, undefeated, and then unstoppable 
Big George Foreman. Ali was getting older, and people finally thought of
 him as the underdog who's time was up. Foreman obliterated Frasier and 
became champion, and many thought Ali's humbling beating was next. 
However, the event was something magical. It was clear Ali was something
 much more than a boxer who permanently changed and inspired the entire 
world. Ali had the entire African town chanting in the streets "Ali, 
Kumbaye!", then somehow Ali knocked out Foreman with an unprecedented 
strategy and became Heavyweight Champion for an unheard of 3rd time. The
 seemingly unbeatable Foreman now had 1 loss, Muhammad Ali. No longer 
seen as arrogant, he was special, and he was a special man who always 
delivered. At this point, referring to him as "The Greatest" began to 
seem undisputed and justified.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Ali is credited for being the Heavyweight Champion of the world at 
the most competitive and difficult times to be Heavyweight Champ. He 
incredibly avenged every loss he ever had, usually coming up best of 3, 
except his very last 2 fights when Father Time would have his way, both 
losses to Larry Holmes and Trevor Berbick. People also started to notice
 Ali's changing demeanor. In his very last fight, the old lion could not
 be knocked out. He still went the distance but sadly didn’t have the 
ability to win anymore and retired at 39.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Muhammad Ali is still one of the most famous, and legendary men in 
the world. Whenever the greatest of all time are discussed, his name 
will be at the very top of the list for a very long time to come.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Record: 173 wins, 109 (KO)19 losses, 6 draws, 2 no contests</span></h2>
<div class="txtd" id="txtd_6249300">
<span style="font-size: large;">Boxing Era: 1940-1965</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Many consider Robinson to be the greatest pound for pound boxer of 
all time. Just boxing prowess considered, he might be. Robinson may be 
the best combination of boxing talent wrapped up in one man that the 
world has ever seen. He was a freakish enigma who somehow possessed 
awesome KO power in his punch, lightning fast speed, outstanding 
footwork and dexterity, and a solid chin. However, I list him 3rd when 
all variables in making a boxer “great” are considered. Ali and Louis 
had more international, political and social significance tied into them
 and their fights, and it immortalized them. Ali and Louis had more 
fights in which the entire world was a buzz and tuned in. Aside from 
that, Robinson is high above the rest.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">In addition to his superior boxing ability, Robinson was also 
memorable for his good looks and flamboyance. He walked with large 
entourages and is credited as the first athlete to have an entourage, he
 owned a famous night spot in Harlem, and he was known to be an 
excellent singer and dancer. In and outside the ring his presence was 
large.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Despite being a dance star in France and all the flash, Robinson was 
clearly the best warrior in the ring. Muhammad Ali and many of the best 
boxers around all concurred that he was tops.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Robinson won the middleweight championship a remarkable and 
unprecedented 5 times. Stylistically he had it all. He had amazing speed
 and finesse. Robinson also dished out sound beatings, and he could take
 beatings and rally back in most impressive fashion. He was never out, 
it was always a matter of how this boxing genius would figure his way 
out and turn the fight around, and he usually did.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">There are many boxers who are always criticized for not being 
challenged enough by real competition to prove their worth---Robinson 
isn't one of them. Robinson has proven he was the best of the best with 
an exclamation point. Robinson defeated a host of Hall of Fame boxers 
like Jake LaMotta, Kid Gavilan, and Rocky Graziano. Even 16lbs lighter, 
Robinson beat the legendary “Raging Bull” Jake LaMotta 5 out of 6 
fights. Having a check list of over 8 Hall of Fame boxers he eclipsed 
cements the fact that Robinson should always make the top 3 on any list.</span></div>

<h2 class="subtitle">
<span style="font-size: large;">Record: Won 73 (40 KO), Lost 13, Draw 9, NC, 2</span></h2>
<div class="txtd" id="txtd_6250954">
<span style="font-size: large;">Boxing Era: 1897-1945</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Before Muhammad Ali or Roy Jones Jr., the biggest brash, bold trash 
talker around was the first African American Heavyweight Champ Jack 
Johnson. Being the first African American Heavyweight champ alone should
 secure him a spot on any top ten listing. For over a decade, nobody 
could beat him. He humiliated his opponents, holding them up and kept 
them from being knocked out so he could keep beating on them. Johnson 
made a mockery of most of his opponents and angered white America with 
his defiant “in your face” antics. The press abused and discredited him,
 but Johnson still couldn’t be beaten. For over a decade, Johnson was 
the most famous and hated African American on the planet.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Jack Johnson is one of the most brilliant boxers of all time, 
employing an unusual style that made it extremely hard for his opponents
 to land a punch on him. Large but light on his feet, Johnson was 
extremely elusive, then battered away on his frustrated challengers.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">During Johnson’s insurmountable reign, there was such an outcry for a
 great white hope that undefeated former champ James J. Jeffries stepped
 forth to dethrone him. Jeffries came back from retirement to prove 
“that a white man was better than a negro". Jeffries trained back into 
great shape pummeling his sparring partners. The fight was one of the 
most anticipated fights in boxing history billed as “The Fight of the 
Century”. Referring to Jeffries, this is where the famous moniker "Great
 White Hope" originated.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">As the fight took place, it was obvious that Johnson was too much for
 Jeffries and overwhelmed him. Jeffries’ corner threw in the towel 
before the inevitable knockout could occur. All the critics were 
silenced from this point on.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Johnson’s victory sparked numerous celebrations as well as race riots
 all over the country. Johnson eventually became a sole victim of 
jealousy and hatred. He was made an example of many times, received 
death threats, and was incarcerated because his wife was a white woman, 
for which he made travel plans with. A law meant to curb transporting 
women for the purpose of sexual immorality and fornication, which either
 way should never be a governments concern in a free country, was used 
to stick against Johnson.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Jack Johnson was broken down and eventually time caught up with him. 
He only won 2 of his last 9 fights because he attempted to keep fighting
 after his exile and imprisonment well into his 40’s.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Perhaps in a different time, Johnson's rise to greatness would be 
less stressful or obstructed by interruptions unrelated to the sport 
enabling him to reach his full potential. Regardless, when Jack Johnson 
was on top, he was in a different stratosphere and he made his point 
very loud and clear. Ring Magazine founder Nat Fleischer considered Jack
 Johnson the greatest Heavyweight Champ of all time.</span></div>

<div class="txtd" id="txtd_6224754">
<span style="font-size: large;">Boxing Era: 1985-2005</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Let’s just be real; Tyson is snubbed, misplaced, or left out all 
together on almost all the lists I’ve seen. We’ve forgotten what he was 
and moved on. It’s outrageous and unfair. There is absolutely no other 
boxer in boxing history that has amassed such a legendary fear factor 
and buzz in the sport than "Iron" Mike Tyson.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">In the 80’s and early 90’s, Tyson was looked at as an unbeatable 
juggernaut who knocked out every contender of every size and caliber 
within the first few seconds or rounds of almost every fight. It became 
an entertaining query just how long the next unlucky sap would last.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Iron Mike Tyson, the once "Baddest Man on the Planet" was the 
youngest heavyweight champ ever. He snatched the title by way of 
humbling 2nd round (smacked down to the canvass…attempt to get up…10 
second dazed chicken dance, then back down again…) knock out at 20 years
 old---a kid. He also was the first ever, and youngest to hold the WBA, 
WBC and IBF titles AT THE SAME TIME. Say what you will, Mike Tyson is 
the only boxer that probably could’ve annihilated every other boxer on 
this list or any other list on a good day in his prime. You know it’s 
true. From 20-26 years old, no one could beat a focused, mentally 
healthy, and hungry Mike Tyson.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Tyson was absorbed into the forefront of Pop culture. From the very 
popular Nintendo Game "Mike Tyson's Punch Out", to his cartoons and 
comic books in Asia, to Will Smith's "I Think I Could Beat Mike Tyson", 
the world gravitated to Tyson like an otherworldly super hero. Either by
 knocking people out within seconds or in a very controversial loss 
later in his career, the fact remains that Mike Tyson was a sensational 
spark to the boxing world and deserves to be on this list. Years after 
his meteoric rise and fall, he remains one of the most talked about 
boxers of all time.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">After the death of trainer and father figure Cus D’amoto, a 3 year 
imprisonment (that should never have happened---it was an obvious set 
up), a highly publicized fiasco of a failed marriage, fall outs with Don
 King who owed him lots of money, mismanagement, and an eventual loss of
 heart for the sport, his star and prominence eventually faded into a 
series of controversial or lackluster losses and performances. The era 
of Mike Tyson is still unprecedented and he remains a point of reference
 for every young sensation on the rise.</span></div>

give punishment all night long. In order to beat Chavez a challenger 
would expect to go the distance, and expect to feel pain.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Chavez has beaten Roger Mayweather, Hector Camacho, Sammy Fuentes and
 many other great fighters through the years. Even before his retirement
 he was already seen as a Mexican legend who garnered respect and 
admiration. Chavez was always a huge boxing draw that packed stadiums 
and was internationally famous star in the sport.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Chavez's name is still currently resounding in the sport through his son and namesake, Julio Chavez, Jr.</span></div>

<div class="txtd" id="txtd_6253974">
<span style="font-size: large;">Boxing Era:1948-1955</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Rocky Marciano is one of the hardest punchers in boxing history whose
 greatest claim to fame is being the only undefeated Heavyweight 
champion. Marciano was not that smooth as far as finesse is concerned, 
but he made up for it by punishing his opponents with power.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">There’s been a back and forth Marciano debate for decades. Some 
people call him the greatest. However, Marciano is never ranked high 
amongst the greatest by boxing analyst in contrast to his undefeated 
status. You will need to look nowhere else to understand why. His less 
than stellar rankings are primarily because the competition he faced was
 not as strong as many of the other champions like Ali or Robinson. Ali 
and Robinson beat many other all time great Hall of Famers you might 
find on similar lists, and while these fighters were in their prime. 
Simply being undefeated can be easily nullified. Many of the boxing 
greats were also once undefeated boxers for long periods of time. Willie
 Pep was once 61-0. Sugar Ray Robinson was 85-0 as an amateur and once 
40-0 as a pro. It is only when these warriors fought other legends, took
 losses, and reasserted their dominance did people learn how good they 
were as they earned their places in boxing history. Most of the biggest 
names Marciano fought were passed their prime and were not great litmus 
tests. Marciano took the Heavyweight title from a 38 year old Jersey Joe
 Walcott. He also famously knocked Joe Louis out of the ring, but Louis 
was obviously not the same Louis, old, weathered and forced to keep 
fighting because of debt. Robinson had Jake LaMotta and beat him. Ali 
had Frasier and Foreman and beat them. Unfortunately and to no fault of 
his own, Marciano won all his fights and never had a fresh legendary 
nemesis to prove his worth with an exclamation point.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Regardless, Marciano will always be remembered for his ferocity and 
no losses. He was a class act who never took more credit than he 
deserved. Being the only undefeated Heavyweight champion of all time 
will keep him relevant in boxing debates and rankings for a very long 
time.</span></div>

<div class="txtd" id="txtd_6264004">
<span style="font-size: large;">Boxing Era: 1931-1945</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Henry Armstrong was the first and only boxer to hold 3 world 
championship division titles at the same time. He would have won a 
fourth, something that no one has come close to doing ever, but fell 
short due to a controversial draw against Ceferino Garcia. Many thought 
he should have won. Regardless, his greatest achievement is defending 
the welterweight title more times than anyone else in boxing history.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">He started his professional career on the losing end but then began 
several stunning, long winning streaks. Many times in his career, 
Armstrong answered a loss with over 10 consecutive victories. One of his
 hottest streaks was 27 wins in a row, all of those 27 wins by way of 
knockout. Henry Armstrong’s 27 knockout win streak is viewed by many as 
the best winning streak ever in boxing. No one does that anymore. 
Mayweather and Pacquiao are beasts in the game at the moment, but they 
could never boast of that kind of a streak while fighting the sports 
best.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Ring Magazine voted Armstrong 2nd in the greatest fighters of the 
last 80 years list in 2007. One may find variations on his record 
because a lot of the older boxers fought so much and under different 
names that it is hard for boxing historians to tell. Regardless, 
Armstrong's win streak under his own name is something that is not hard 
to credit and will not be duplicated anytime soon.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">After retirement, Armstrong trained young boxers and also became a Baptist minister.</span></div>

<div class="txtd" id="txtd_6264091">
<span style="font-size: large;">Boxing Era: 1940-1966</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Willie Pep is an Italian-American boxer who fought for 26 years with a
 total of 229 wins out of 241 fights, perhaps the most impressive record
 in boxing.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Pep was the World Featherweight Champion with an astounding record of
 61-0 before finally losing to another World Champion and fellow future 
Hall of Famer, Sammy Angott by decision in 1943. Pep bounced back and 
won 5 fights for the rest of that year. He did it again for the entire 
year of 1944, winning all 16 fights he fought in.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Pep continued his career with a staggering amount of victories at a 
championship level cementing the fact that he is one of the best of all 
time. He won 73 fights in a row which set an amazing boxing record.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Willie Pep was an asset to the sport and his weight class. The middle
 and heavy weight classes made the most money and attendance. Pep 
changed that expectation eventually fighting before packed arenas.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Setting boxing records from the start of his career until the end, 
William Pep is definitely one of the greatest pugilists of the century.</span></div>
