in order, but not set in stone.

1)Ali
2)Holmes
3)Louis
4)Lennox
5)Holyfield
6)Klitshko
7)Foreman
8)Usyk
9)Tyson
10)Fraizer

If Usyk beats Dubious again hes number 5 for me

 

Liston no Louis? No klitschko? Good list even still. Many many great heavies throughout history. Many interchangeable in the top 10.

 

It changes all the time, but...

Ali
Louis
Lewis
Marciano
Foreman
Tyson
Holyfield (because of PEDs, would be higher)
Frazier
Usyk
Charles

No, Dempsey is not on there because he didn't fight black fighters.
No, Holmes, Liston and Wlad are not on there because the impressive wins aren't there.

 

i didnt put a whole lot of thought into it. mostly off the top of my head and based off of what these fighters contributed to my experience as a fan of hw boxing. i know a lot about boxing, compared to a casual, but i am still limited in my knowledge.

 

Not an easy task to pick the top 10.

 

nope. thats why i said my list wasnt set in stone. i have little knowledge of many of the greats before my time as a fan, which started in the 70s. some ive watched tapes of and have an idea of their impact in their time. but many i just dont know much about.
i didnt include wlad because i wasnt really a fan of his style, and he never fought his brother, which i understand and agree with, but it doesnt erase the questions. his reign was not particularly memorable to me. others may have had a totally different experience.

2. Louis
3. Marciano

3 Holmes
4 Lewis
5 Johnson
6 Foreman
7 Marciano
8 Tyson
9 Liston

I recently updated it. 1 & 2; 3 & 4; 5, 6 & 7; 8, 9 & 10 are interchangable to be fair.

1. Muhammad Ali
2. Joe Louis
3. Larry Holmes
4. Lennox Lewis
5. Rocky Marciano
6. Evander Holyfield
7. George Foreman
8. Wladimir Klitschko
9. Joe Frazier
10. Mike Tyson

11. Jack Johnson
12. Sonny Liston
13. Jack Dempsey
14. Jim Jeffries
15. Ezzard Charles

 

A couple of people have no Holmes which I wasn't expecting at all.

 

I like this list Noel I would have something similar here's my top 10 in no order.

Muhammad Ali
Joe Louis
Larry Holmes
Lennox Lewis
Rocky Marciano
Evander Holyfield
George Foreman
Joe Frazier
Wladimir Klitschko
Mike Tyson

I don't have great knowledge on boxers from Jack Johnson's era but I'm sure he has a case for top 10.

 

Wow, never seen a Top 10 so close to mine, haha.

 

I rate Johson higher than most, but it is more the place he holds in history rather than his resume.
