    Just for fun...
    Any fighter from history, forced to weigh in at 200lb, with a 10lb rehydration clause.
    I guess there are silly omissions/errors/oversights, but I've tried a top 20. I welcome anyone's top 20s, 10s, 5s, or whatever:
    1. Louis
    2. Holyfield
    3. Johnson
    4. Dempsey
    5. Marciano
    6. Tunney
    7. Langford
    8. Patterson
    9. Walcott
    10. Charles
    11. Schmeling
    12. Usyk
    13. Fitzsimmons
    14. Sullivan
    15. Spinks
    16. Corbett
    17. Jackson
    18. Jeanette
    19. Moore
    20. Quawi

    Good shout, but he wasn't someone I forgot. He just misses the cut for me. I'd even have Sharkey, Foster and a few others ahead of him.

    I can see Chris Byrd beating quite a few of them.

    Jirov ended Joe Mesi's career. Toney beat up Holyfield and Ruiz.

    Good shout. Where would Byrd slot in my list, in your opinion?

    I think my top 10 are pretty solid against these suggestions. But may be considered for the 20.
    Quite happy to view better lists.
    On this forum, I always feel that you guys know more than me :)

    The Cruiser division has earned my respect. Its full of big men in shape that produce top fights.
