    Marciano is tied for seventh (22)

    Good call with Basilio, he is not top 10, but he still made an impressive 12 apperances.

    Considering Johnson was way past it by 1922, four apperances show his influence.

    Thought Johnson might get some historical appearances.

    Harry Greb?

    Thought Greb would get more, very active and fighting at a top level.


    Dempsey?

    Which one?;)

    The Nonpareil had an apperance; The Manassa Mauler somewhat (IMO) ironically shares a top 10 place with Marciano with 22 apperances.

    Larry Holmes
    George Foreman

    Be interested to know how many times Tyson was on the cover even if we are only looking at up to 1992.

    Duran? Should have a few.
    Chavez? Doubt it but may be.
