    Julio Cesar Chavez is listed directly above Ezzard Charles. The list is invalid.

    That said, it's pretty cool that 3 (at least 3, anyway) of ESB's own posters contributed to it.

    If you consider Holyfield's accomplishments at cruiserweight I think he ranks higher than Lewis and I'm a huge, huge Lewis fan. But p4p I'd pick Holyfield and in terms of looking at his whole body of work I'd pick him over Lewis also.

    Frazier, probably not.

    No it doesn't, not if you consider Holyfield's cruiser accomplishments. My beef has more do to with Tyson ranking so much higher than Lewis. At the least it should be far closer and I think an argument can be made for ranking Lewis above Tyson.

    Holyfield isn't the better heavyweight, but p4p he's the better boxer, which is what that list was about. Lewis was way bigger than him.

    Surprised no one has brought up JCC above Whitaker. I thought, at least on ESB ,that Whitaker was regarded the greater of the two.
