    Do you know what criteria is using? Is it based on head to head or career accomplishments?

    Pretty solid list. Not sure I'd have Vitali in there. No disrespect to him - he and his brother,Wladimir are the two best heavyweights post Lennox Lewis but I'd have him around numbers 15-20.

    Having Vitali on the list and not Dempsey and Marciano is an insult.

    I’ve come to the point with any all-time Heavyweight top 10 where I don’t think they can be that wrong unless you try and sneak Chris Byrd into it.

    Colin Hart always came across as a bull**** merchant and that list about confirms it. No doubt he'd come up with something completely different if you asked him next week. Klitschko above Foreman is cringeworthy.

    I can't see any possible justification for having Vitally above Wlad.

    Colin Hart ( born April 6, 1935 ) in West Ham in London is a British boxing expert and is considered one of the most important British boxing commentators. He was used in numerous World Championship fights.

    Colin Hart developed a great passion for boxing at a young age after hearing stories from his brothers and father about legendary fighters Ted "Kid" Lewis and Jackie "Kid" Berg .

    After two years of military service, he began his journalism career with the Daily Herald in 1958 as a news reporter. In 1962 he switched to the sports department and from 1964 found his passion in boxing. In 1969, as The Sun regrouped in the tabloids, Hart became the official boxing correspondent. His first assignment took him to America for Muhammad Ali's "Fight of the Century" vs. Joe Frazier on March 8, 1971 at Madison Square Garden . Throughout his nearly 50-year career, Hart has commentated on boxing matches around the world. Among them were such legendary fights as Foreman vs. Norton , Ali vs. Foreman, Ali vs. Frazier , Leonard vs.Hearns and fights with Ken Buchanan , Joe Calzaghe , Lennox Lewis and Ricky Hatton . He retired in 2000 after 31 years but returned to write as The Sun 's boxing columnist.

    Known as The Voice of Boxing, Hart became the first British writer to win the BWAA's prestigious Nat Fleischer Prize for Excellence In Boxing Journalism (2011).
