if the 20 all-time greatest HWs never existed?

  1. who then would be put to be numbers 1-10? [basically who we consider nowadays to be 21-30.]

    the top 20 that we know and love doesn't exist in this parallel boxing world.

    ali, lewis, etc, never existed and so never fought. in this case, who would be in the heavyweight all-time top 10?
    would the top 3 pretty much pick themselves, are they clear-cut?

    so who'd make it into this parallel world's top 10?
    for instance, fighters such as bonavena, quarry, bugner!?

    You have to put them all back to the pre steroid era, so the early 1950's. Many of the big muscular fighters of the last few decades would be much smaller back then, also people are taller now so todays fighters would be shorter.

    It is a real complicated mess to even start figuring this all out.
