    So what I am asking is to cover up the poorly worded title is in any division what are the most difficult placing you find among ATG's to the point you could have one ranked above the other on another given day.

    Hope I explained this ok lol.

    Actually, most of the all time great Heavyweights are close, in my mind, which are the only boxers I have ever even attempted to seriously rank.

    Monzon, Greb and SRR all have arguments to be made as best MW.

    Since learning about the wisdom of King Solomon, I have no problem splitting them anymore. I just attempt to do it and let someone else decide first.

    Thanks.

    Take HW for instance Holmes is a common 3rd place pick but he is also seen as a distant 3rd behind 1/2.

    I got a coin toss for the first place - Ali & Louis and 3rd place - Holmes & Lewis.

    I also have no idea where to put Holyfield. As of now I have another coin toss for the 8th with him and Foreman.

    Aditionally, I would probably have a coin toss between Tyson and Frazier for the 6th spot.

    So pretty much most of your heavyweight top 10 other than 5th and 10th.

    The 10th can also be a coin toss between Usyk and Marciano xD Only Wlad holds the 5th spot tight.

    Pretty sure youre forgetting a certain bald southpaw who also has a claim as the best MW.

    That's another one which people see as closely contested not only at Heavyweight but also at Crusierweight.
