    nice list mcgrain. i dont know if i can ever get around to see lennox as a top 3 heavyweight of all time(where do you rate rahman and mccall?), but maybe someday. If you swap Frazier and Marciano you and my top 10 list is nearly identical, me and you flip flop opinions on frazier and rock.

    On closer inspection, McGrain, I notice that Lewis leaped ahead of Liston and Tyson leaped ahead of Holmes between your top ten list and your top thirty list.

    Well he is three or four for me depending how i am weighing him and Liston. Marciano...i say he has the broadest rating of any HW, 3-11 seems reasonable to me.

    Yes. Liston and Lewis are in permenant flux, Larry and Mike is more permenant.

    I see what you mean, but there is a reason to separate them for h2h reasons. A cold, calculated decision always takes circumstances into the equation. For that reason the decision can turn out differently in a fight for the undisputed crown than it would in just any other fight, since the pros is bigger in the former case than in the latter but the cons are the same.

    A spontanous decision based purely on emotion makes no such distinctions.

    There is still merit to your argument that the one who never quits will of course run lesser risk of losing, though.
