    Gentlemen!...What a collection of assholes. The fact that no one has mentioned the obvious answer astounds me...It's Tyson Fury.

    You don't even have him on your list. Throughout the 20th century the man generally regarded as the best EVER was Ted "Kid" Lewis. I've seen listafter list in mags and books and except for the exception Wilde, he is always on top.:rasta

    Lennox Lewis.

    As good as a lot of the other guys on the list where, I cannot see past Lennox really.

    Three time HW champion, avenged all his defeats by dominant stoppage, was a dominant champion throughout his reign at the top.

    Of those listed on the poll it would definitely have to be Fitzsimmons, followed by Driscoll.
