    Vitali is probably between 30-50 on the top HW's list.

    Wlad is between 15-25.... around the likes of Riddick Bowe.

    I am not a fan of either Klit brother, but don't know how many guys you can rank above them without debate as far as top 20 goes....For my money Wlad is in the 16-18 range already and Vitali is in the 20-25 range....even if they never fight again.

    Who are these 20 HW's you rate unequvically above him/them????

    1 Louis
    2 Ali

    3 Johnson
    4 Marciano
    5 Holmes

    6 Foreman
    7 Frazier

    8 Liston
    9 Lewis
    10 Holyfield

    11 Dempsey
    12 Tyson

    13 Jeffries
    14 Schmelling
    15 Charles
    16 Walcott

    17 Wills
    18 Wlad
    19 Langford

    19 Bowe
    20 Patterson

    21 Vitali

    This is by no means complete as there remain numerous guys I am still researching/evaluating as I go along...but I don't see how there are 20+ that dwarf Wlad or vitali either by resume or hypothetical H2H scenerios????

    I would say these 15 (no particular order) definitively rank higher than vitali (assuming he and wlad retire today)

    Joe Louis
    Muhammad Ali
    Jack Johnson
    Larry Holmes
    George Foreman
    Lennox Lewis
    Mike Tyson
    Evander Holyfield
    Sam Langford
    Wladimir Klitschko
    Rocky Marciano
    Joe Frazier
    Jack Dempsey
    James J. Jeffries
    Max Schmeling

    I'd say the next bracket of fighters is of the patterson/bowe/vitali bracket.

    respectable list. i put langford and wlad slightly higher.

    i haven't split my top 15 yet. but i'm guessing it wouldn't be far removed from your own. i don't have charles, liston in my top 15.

    a rough split would be

    top 3 (no order) - Louis, Ali, Marciano
    Next 2 (no order) - Lewis, Foreman
    Next 5 (no order) - Frazier, Holyfield, Tyson, Johnson, Holmes
    Last 5 (no order) - Dempsey, Jeffries, Schmelling, Langford, Wladimir

    I would question why Liston (and charles to a lesser degree) would not be in a top 15 list???

    Langford is one of those guys that I am looking into currently. he makes my top 6 P4P ATG list, I am learning more about his HW resume right now.

    Have you looked at your avatar? By the way nobody has claimed Danny Williams was anything special.
