    I'm interested to see other people's list.

    Would be intriguing to see where Tyson, Klitschko Brothers, Jack Johnson and Larry Holmes etc are placed.

    I would post in General, but I want honest opinions and genuine discussions about the greatest heavyweights of all time, so opted for the Classic.

    There are dozens of thread on this topic in the archives. What is your criteria?

    a Hypothetical Head to head list if they were all in their primes?

    Legacy on what they meant to boxing?

    In a Pound for pound sense?

    In an achievement sense, using stats?

    Based on Legacy, not really head to head. You could base your answer on their achievements.

    But really it has to be your general opinion on who think is the greatest.
