    I think you can make a case for Holmes edging out Lewis.

    I would pretty much go with this maybe swap Lewis and Foreman around.

    Rob bit off topic but it doesn't really deserve its own thread.

    How is Ashley sexton coming along? Has he started traveling to other countries for sparring or has that stopped?

    Jeff's is very solid IMO. There is nothing that can't really be justified I don't think. I'd swap Liston/Pat and probably have Lewis at 3 but its not unreasonable.

    I always start off like this.

    Ali
    Louis (this is kind of debatable but most people would say Ali and so would I)
    -----------------------
    Lewis
    Holmes
    Foreman (these are pretty much interchangeable)

    I can't see other names but these in a top 5.

    Jeff is a gaylord for not including Marciano. Fact!

    Whether you like him or not if this is being done on achievement then being unbeaten and beating every contender (he can't help what was or wasn't around him) with an 88% KO record or something like that is worthy of at least #10.
