    Not being racist just interested in who the top 10 white heavyweights are. I suppose Marciano, Dempsey, Wladimir, Vitali, Tunney would be my top 5.

    I guess you can make it based on either. Or even something like level of fame the boxer had. In some ways accomplishment is a little less subjective although ranking resume is as subjective as hth matchups.

    Max Schmelling has to rank number one on account of being pure Aryan.
