    11. Lewis
    12. Liston
    13. Charles
    14. Tunney
    15. Schmeling
    16. Walcott
    17. Patterson
    18.Vladimir Klitschko
    19. Vitali Klitschko
    20. Norton

    Other than Lewis and Liston at 11 and 12, the order of the rest of the list is pretty much arbitrary.

    You have Frazier and Johnson at 15 and 17 seems really low most have them a lock for top 10.

    I don't have any rankings but I do think Bowe should be considered in the second tier. IMO a prime Bowe beats guys like Schmelling, Jeffries and Charles.

    There are certain fighters that you associate with this category:

    Jim Corbett often appears in such lists, but I wonder if Peter Jackson or Bob Fitzsimmons has a better claim!

    Sam Langford
    Harry Wills
    Max Schmeling
    Max Baer
    Ezzard Charles
    Jersey Joe Walcott
    Floyd Patterson
    Riddick Bowe

    These are all fighters who you associate with this category.
