    Lots of people sleep on Ezzard Charles, or at least used to.

    Harry Greb has to rate, especially with that big ole win over Tunney and countless others...

    Pacquiao for sure.

    Very difficult to say really.
    The old timers are in a one belt era or two also fighting far more often. So it's difficult to compare.'

    John Henry Lewis and Jimmy Bivins are worth putting in the first tier of his wins as well.

    Yes. And thanks.
    I had completely forgotten John Henry Lewis.
    And then Joe Louis' resume would look like this (IN THE ONE BELT ERA):
    - 6 heavyweight champions (score 7-1)
    - 2 lightheavyweight champions (score 3-0)
    heavyweight:
    Jersey Joe Walcott x2
    Max Schmeling (1-1)
    Jim Braddock
    Jack Sharkey
    Max Baer
    Primo Carnera

    lightheavyweight:
    Billy Conn x2
    John Henry Lewis
