    This excellent post is a rarity in this thread, and indeed almost any Foreman related discussion recently, in that it's balanced and intelligent.

    McGrain has a extended range of anywhere between 3 and 16.

    That's a range, for sure. But maybe makes sense. Never have looked too much beyond the top 10. If you look achievement wise more than how good a fighter was in his prime, behind Ali and Louis could work. And maybe 15 fighters with better wins and losses. Maybe.
