    This is going to be difficult. As always, the criterion are your own. I am going to go for variety here, because he beat multiple great fighters multiple times. Please don't forget to name the specific fight if he fought a fighter multiple times.

    Joe Louis
    Walcott 1
    Walcott II
    Moore III
    Marshall II (first win)
    Burley 1
    Maxim 1
    Bivins I
    Ray II
    Lesnevich

    Again, I could see this many ways. To put it into perspective, this man has a lot to choose from...

    Ezzard Charles list of wins make me question my rating of Sugar Ray Robinson at #1.

    In chrono order

    Archie Moore I
    Bivins III
    Lloyd Marshall III
    Elmer Ray II
    Baksi
    Lesnevich
    Louis
    Maxim IV
    Rex Layne III
    Holman II(he beat an elite 6'3 HW in his prime while being nearly washed)

    Walcott II would be 11th.
