    I think John is interested in seeing your own list, my friend.

    He might feel you're evading making and/or sharing one, possibly because of worries about scrutiny.

    Sorry if I'm presuming a lot here, @JohnThomas1 . No harm meant.

    That and he's quite obviously a troll.

    This is an interesting list, with a good mix of old and new.

    Yeah extremely, barely sleep a wink last night. When i did finally nod off it didn't last long as i had a nightmare i was chased around by a pale forehead topped by a reddish mop. I could only run in slow motion and never seemed to get completely away.

    Correct. He's running around bagging things that he hasn't done himself.

    It's ok until one see's Vitali in there!

    Then we notice the fighter he loathes the most is also missing, who wouldn't thunk it? a guy with one of if not the most devastating heavyweight championship victories over a reigning ATG in the history of the division. One who just so happens to make his top 10. Said victorious fighter then regained the lineal title more than 2 decades after he first won it. Not top 10? Pffffffffft!

    I don't like the lack of Foreman either. But to each his own.

    I can’t remove guys with legitimate title runs for a guy who never did that. Plus, Vitali had a far superior old guy run than the guy who’s getting cancelled.

    I don’t have Buster Douglas on there either. One win does not an ATG make.
