    Now that's some kind words. Thank you. I can't argue with that list. I don't think I have yet decided who should be #3 for me.

    Wow that's unexpected, you don't think Foreman, Lewis or Holmes would be Top 3 in any era?

    Hi Mandela2039.
    Sorry, maybe I misread the OPs post ? wouldnt be the first time, what I meant was, that in any era that Louis or Ali would compete in, they would always be the top two, so no I don't think the fighters you named would be in top two, as long as Ali and Louis are competing, any one of them could be in third place, I hope that makes sense ?
    stay safe buddy, chat soon.
    Mike.
