Hi Des, THe great Richard Dunn? Good fighter no doubt but great? Paterson was good for sure,Liston the big bear i really dont have an opinion one way or another cause nobody can remember anyone he fought although i do believe he was ruthless. As for the fights with Ali, lots of controversy there for sure....today it would be called a fix especially the 2nd fight. I laugh when people talk about boxing and bugners name comes up. He wouldnt be in my top 50 best fighters, just in the heavyweight division. I never saw chuvalo so cant comment really. Norton was pretty useful i do agree but ali again way past his best at the time. Im still not convinced that the Ali era produced many great fighters thus the best of all time being Ali. Dont get me wrong folks, i love Ali and love not only his boxing but also his charisma. He brought something new to boxing cause at the time it was stale. He is actually a hero of mine too but i just cant see him as the self aclaimed greatest. Ringo you mentioned some great fighters we had from the British isles. You forgot Benn, Honeygan, Mc guigan, Lennox Lewis, The list is endless and nobody really knows who was the greatest making boxing such a fantastic topic.
