    in no order, Ali, Holmes, Lewis, Foreman, Louis, Wladamir, Marciano. Don't really rate the older heavyweights like Jack Johnson and Dempsey.

    Ranking on a combination of resume, achievements, and the eye test:

    Ali, Louis, Holmes, Foreman, Marciano, Lewis, and in the 7th spot, either Frazier, Tyson, or Holyfield.

    My top 3 are;

    Ali
    Louis
    Holmes

    I'd have to think a bit more about the next four.

    :lol:

    More proof that so called H2H is nothing but judgement calls and prejudices of the fans. How else can you put the guy who hasn't actually beaten anyone or note in an all time sense at the top, and the guy who beat the most notable fighters at the bottom? How can you put Ali below Foreman when prime Foreman was beaten by a past-prime Ali, and later almost got KO'd by Ron Lyle and then got outboxed and knocked down by Jimmy Young?

    Thank you, but I want your top 7 overall not on 'h2h abilities'. So include h2h+resume.
