The Sports Illustrated List .... in no particular order top ten heavyweights ... http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/gallery/featured/GAL1163001/10/10/index.htm liston marciano louis lewis ali foreman jack johnson holmes frazier dempsy Bert Sugar would agree ...

Klitschkos, Ibeabuchi, Tua eat up half the heavyweights on your list. Tyson beats them ALL except maybe Ali, Liston and Foreman. Dempsey couldn't be a sparring partner for any of those guys.
How could you possibly leave Ali,Foreman and Frazier out of your Top 10 all would be in Top 5 for me.!!!
I don't think it is really possible to name a top 10 anymore. There have been too many greats with too many unique achievements.

Top ten lists are hard to do. Mine changes everyday. People have different criteria. But for me, Ali is at the top.
1. M. Ali. 2. L. Holmes. 3. J. Johnson. 4. L. Lewis. 5. E. Holyfield. 6. M. Tyson. 7. J. Louis. 8. R. Marciano. 9. V Klitckho. 10. W. Klitckho. 6.
