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

    5. George Foreman
    6. Sonny Liston
    7. Rocky Marciano

    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.
