    Vitali Klitschko
    James Jeffries
    Wlad Klitschko
    Jack Dempsey
    Rocky Marciano
    Gene Tunney
    Alexandar Povetkin
    Sultan Ibragimov
    Corrie Sanders
    Jim Corbett
    Max Schmeling
    Bob Fitzsimmons
    John L Sullivan * Just a guess **
    Jerry Quarry
    Max Baer

    Honorable Mention: Cooney, Morrison, T Sharkey, Johannson, Willard

    Just a hunch, this list will have 5 new names on in 20 years. 4 guys, I listed did not retire that long ago, the other is 41 and still active. Hrgovic ( from Croatia ) scheduled to go pro in 2017 I think is the next #1 heavyweight by 2021.

    More head to head if that makes you feel better.

    Sorry Janitor, the days of 210 or below heavyweight champions AND the days of champions with 74" or below reaches are OVER.

    Its not a fad or trend, its a fact from 1990-2017, and also verifed in the top amateurs.

    If the list was done in a pound for pound sense, I think you'd like it a bit better!

    Being #1 in a timeline is nice, but if the film is clear enough that to me matters the most.

    Good point. Half the time if the boxing name was Jack, their real name was something else.

    Maybe. Maybe not.

    5 years ago 6"8 250lb players like Lebron were all the rave. The game has changed they said. It is all about physicality and athleticism they said. And then Steph showed up...

    All it takes is one fighter to set a new trend.

    For instance, if a Dempsey or a Louis springs about and starts tearing down bigger fighters, but then has difficulty with a smaller guy, it could change the weight strategy for the next 50 years.

    I'm excited to see what this next century of boxing data will give us.

    LeBron James is still a much better player than Curry. Curry has good crossover appeal.
