    Hello Sugarsean, vaguely similar to own the only obvious differences being peak Marciano & Dempsey are my ultimate favourites so they're one and two for me - good to see Charles & Walcott in there -2 of my personal favourites also - but got to say I personally wouldn't have Holyfield or Frazier that high - but hey great list all the same - these lists are always fun to look at - I like getting everybodys opinions on who was the best - good to see Sam Langford included too - any fight with him in would've been fun to see - always imagine him chasing after Ali LOL that would be a good one to see for sure.

    Sometimes when i think about my own list i sometimes struggle because sometimes i think in a head to head sense sometimes say number 12 might give everyone above him better fights style-wise than say number 5 or whatever - is there anyone in particular on your list where this sprung to mind for you? oh and who is your favourite fighter just to watch?

    I think if you double click on the thread title you can change it.

    Edit: Never mind. I didn't read that correctly and I see you've got the other one now.

    Your list is very similar to mine except I refuse to rank 0 footage/bad footage men like Johnson & Dempsey & Tyson deserves more respect than a shitty no10 place due to his best yrs at least.

    Ps. I agree with your top 2 tho - & in that order - set that **** in stone.
