    All 3 had long unbeaten reign s against varying degrees of contender s. Which title run do u consider the greatest in terms of quality of contenders and the way they remained champion for so long.
    Were wlad s title challengers inferior to holmes or Louis. Were Louis s challengers more talented, Holmes tougher,?
    Does wlad stand above them in terms of dominating a era.?
    Iyo who had the greater long term championship.?

    I think Louis's title resign is the best because he was the number 1 guy for longer than any other heavyweight, and should not be overlooked just because how long ago it was, the fact no one has beat it in so long just proves how great he really was.
    Wladimir dominated his era more than Louis and Holmes though.
    1 Joe Louis
    2 Wladimir Klitschko
    3 Larry Holmes

    Louis is the only one whose lineal claim is locked. So, Louis.
