Heavyweight Shadow Champions! | Boxing Timelines #1

A Timeline of "Shadow" Heavyweight Champions | A Brief Boxing Documentary

A Timeline of Underrated Heavyweights

So many champions in the rich history of heavyweight boxing, and yet, we fail to give them their flowers during their time. Today is all about the champions who lived the curse of preceding/succeeding (or both) the icons of the sport.

A Few Bonus Facts:
1. Joe Louis was the youngest champ at 23 when he beat James J Braddock.
2. Floyd Patterson vs Archie Moore was historical either way as Patterson would become the youngest champ ever at 21 or Moore would become the oldest champ ever at 39. Patterson took Louis's title as the youngest heavyweight champ and was, himself, upseated by Mike Tyson when he became champ at 20.
3. Sonny Liston just wanted to be loved...show some love today, folks.
4. Joe Frazier campaigned heavy for the return of Ali's license; it was for himself as much as it was for Ali as Joe wanted to prove himself the true champion (and he did).
5. Evander Holyfield joined Muhammad Ali as the only man to win the title 3 times and joined George Foreman in the talks of having a "second prime" when he began a strong run after his return in 1995 from heart issues.
6. Tyson Fury was said to be a fraud who never had any plans to defend a title. he banished that narrative this past October and won over the people even further amidst allegations of cheating following his victory of the Bronze Bomber last year.
