    Armstrong, Langford or Greb, depending on criteria. All three have serious cases for being BOAT even if one includes SRR or anyone else.

    I don't rank Ali near an all time list, but I've seen good discussions about all time at Heavyweight.

    Greb was widely considered "P4P" in his day. Pep should get a mention high on the list. Hard to say really, my lists changed from day to day. Im a huge fan of Charles/Walcott/Moore but don't they they derserve the top spot.

    Armstrong maybe.

    Visit the classic forum, there have been COUNTLESS arguements about Ali's place in the top 10.

    5. Ali

    That's normally my set top 5 with Ali and Charles sometimes swapping. After that you have about 8-10 names that could rank in any order IMO. Likes of Willie Pep, Benny Leonard, Roberto Duran, Sugar Ray Leonard etc. I normally get killed for saying it and still think he's a great fighter, but Joe Louis is a bit overrated IMO. Definitely not the #1 heavy for me.
