    Floyd's post title record is vey good imo,better than his pre title one.Liston lost to Marshall once in 3 fights.Patterson lost to Maxim.
    They have comparable records really as far as wins go ,but Liston destroyed many of his opponents whereas Floyd was less dramatic in victory ,except for the INGO wins.

    I view 1985-2009 as a talented time. Some guys are still active on that list with an ^ arrow if they can win a key fight, which makes it hard. If I had to give 15 as of today they would be:

    1. Lewis
    2. Holyfield
    3. Tyson
    4. V. Klit
    5. Bowe
    6 .W.Klit
    7. Witherspoon
    8. Ike
    9. Morrer
    10. Byrd
    11. Chagaev
    12. Ruiz
    13. Douglas
    14. Rahman
    15. Tua

    My ratings in red, Mendoza's in black. Would be great to get Mendoza's 16-25.

    I'll post mine later or tomorrow. I'm a bit short of time and brains at the moment.
