    Appreciate the input my man, but if you could put them in order somehow, would be great, since I'm awarding points for each place in the ranking.

    Your lists change quite a bit IIRC. Is this your real one?

    My lists are under constant scrutiny and evaluation, as should be everyone's'. I defend the above list until such a time where I find fault in it.

    1. Ali
    2. Holmes
    3. Lewis
    4. Foreman
    5. Louis
    6. Holyfield
    7. Wladimir
    8. Tyson
    9. Frazier
    10. Liston

    I made this list in 2022 and I pretty much still agree with it, Louis down slightly and Foreman up slightly, a lot of this is built upon longevity, strength of competition and my own personal feelings toward the boxer (except Wlad lol). I favor Foreman for his two careers and still being relevant in the two strongest generations of heavyweights, I favor Holyfield for his fierce level of competition and amazing efforts and versatility. I dropped Louis down slightly for his strength of competition in my opinion and how the heavyweight division evolved in subsequent decades. In terms of legacy and impact, Louis would be higher, Dempsey would have made the cut--he is #12 for me and I feel that is generous considering his inactivity with the title.

    Great list, I have the same names, maybe not exactly in that order, but close.
