    I think it's strange to rate Louis p4p above Ali considering he outweighed a bigger % of his opponents than Ali did.
    He was relatively the bigger man in his era than Ali in his era was.
    Relatively he did somewhat better than Ali but Ali fought the stronger men..

    Charles should be p4p 1 imo.
    Rocky Marciano should also be in top 3 considering he wasn't big in anyway.

    Think I mistook the concept of this thread completeley simply did it on the basis of the heavyweights achievements and their prime weight :-(

    The counter argument to that would be that Louis fought more bigger heavyweights, and was more dominant against them.
