    That was McKay's list. I don't agree with all of it but I also would place Holyfield over Lewis. His achievements at CW have to be factored into his overall ranking. Aside from this, I feel he was a more skilled and more versatile fighter.

    Top 10 MW.

    He`s not the best of his own era but he was a great fighter.

    Top 50 p4p.

    I have Holy above Lewis but Lewis above Marciano, who wouldn't make my top 60

    Haha - maybe if God makes the same mistake on Judgement Day, you'll end up in Heaven instead of the fiery lakes of Hell where the rest of your brethren are heading!

    Borderline top 60 P4P, or thereabouts. That's no slate on him by the way, just goes to show how stacked the sport's history truly is. All time lists are pretty much useless to be honest, because after a certain point it gets to be a pretty futile effort.

    Swap Willie Pep & Joe Louis & we have the same top 5.

    I did you a favour tho & cut out the rest of your list... lets just say, I didnt agree with most of it :lol: :good

    Pacquiao shouldnt be above Whitaker, Louis or Chavez IMO.

    I wouldnt have Lennox in a top 50 & not have Holmes.

    I`ll leave it at that since I struggle to come up with anything more than a top 9, its always easy to pick faults in somebody elses list I suppose :good
