    ...after Ali's of course. I have looked at many of the great champs' careers, and while they all have a couple of big names on their lists, who's really stands out, and is worthy of being #2?

    If you accept the premise that Ali is #1, then Louis has to be #2.

    You can argue about what order that pair should be ranked in, but I don't think there is much to argue about them being the top 2.

    A more interesting question for me, is who is #3.

    Must of been a champion and then ties are broken with fights fought at the division, then the following pretty much of the top of my head are above Wlad:

    Jack Dempsey
    Sammy Langford
    Harry Wills
    Sam McVey
    Joe Jeanette
    Joe Louis
    Arturo Godoy
    Max Schmeling
    Tommy Farr
    Primo Carnera
    Paulino Uzcudun
    Joe Bugner
    George Chuvalo
    George Foreman

    Tunny has an underrated record. Top 10 at least.

    Top 5 maybe?

    63 pro fights and he only fought 5 world champions. He hasn't fought a ranked contender close to 3 years. His record is ****.

    I quite agree, so why did you use it to justify your opening post?
