    Max or Vitali. Farr is worthy of consideration, although maybe as a cruiser or lightheavy.

    Aside from Lennox Lewis, Wladimir Klitschko.

    A lot is going to ride on what Joshua goes on to achieve, but on face value, the sheer valiance of his performance as a relative old man gives big Wlad a lot more credit. I already have Wlad top 10. I've not been 'forum active' for years, so I can't remember my list. At first thought, I think Wlad would be pushing the top 5.
