    I have it

    1.Sonny Liston
    2.Riddick Bowe
    3.Wladimir Klitschko

    I have Liston at 1 because he had a very long hard jab,harder than Klitschko and Bowes i think and he used it very well

    Foreman at 4 for what its worth, i have Wlad being better than his because i think Wlad uses his more effectivley than Foreman did. Close though

    You really think Bowe belongs above Lennox, Wlad, Ali etc? The man was getting outjabbed by Andrew Golota.

    1. Ali (extremely functional; versatile; a wonder)
    2. Holmes (fast and very busy; dominating and punishing)
    3. Louis (textbook perfect; a jolting weapon)
