    I;d find room for Johnson at Tunneys expense and Holmes def. above Foreman.

    Depends what we are ranking on I suppose, H2h or achievments.

    I'll go through it later (as to why I've picked who) but I don't rate Johnson that much.

    Still at the weight, Tunney just hasn't done enough. I know Johnson pre-title career is a pig to rate because of the times he fought in, but even as champ he's done enough to outstrip Tunney?

    And no love for K2????;)

    Wlads number 19, assume Haye is somewhere behind that!!!

    Jersey Joe in in there as well, I love watching him box.

    Id never seen him fight before the vid, vary rare to see a switch hitting heavyweight.

    Watch him and then watch Leonard against Hagler. Same moves.

    Great video. I wish it was chronological though. Very few top 20 lists are the same, so people will always end up complaining.
