    Substitute Foreman for Tyson, and swap him and Evander and my list pretty much tallies up with that one, perhaps swapping Marciano and Holmes.

    1 Ali
    2 Louis
    3 Foreman
    4 Holmes
    5 Johnson
    6 Marciano
    7 Dempsey
    8 Lewis
    9 Holyfield
    10 Jeffries

    Time will heal the wound, like many on this list who carried on too long; but I think I punished Holyfield for still fighting.
