    The 3 Pillars of Heavyweight boxing or Mount Rushmore, Joe Louis, Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson. 3 transcending fighters who cover 3 generations, so which heavyweight comes after Tyson? Or maybe they haven't been discovered yet

    Louis, Ali, Holmes, Tyson, Lewis, Klitschko.

    If you don't think Holmes belongs there inbetween them for some weird reason, then the answer is still Lewis and Klitschko.

    Lewis is a great fighter but he's not a transcending fighter like them 3, he has a boring personality

    Hey, @MarkusFlorez99 changed Lennox Lewis to Tyson Fury in his post... Why?! :dunno

    Lennox is obviously greater as Fury, who only had 4 titlefights (2 defences) in his entire career. He's on par with the likes of Bowe at the moment.

    Mike Tyson being In the mountain along with those two absolute giants is debatable. But I'm struggling to think of anyone else tbh. Probably Holyfield Instead.

    After those 3 Usyk If gets the undisputed with Fury.

    When you say transcending, if you mean heavyweight champions who's popularity went beyond the norm , then after Ali, Louis and Tyson, I would say Jack Dempsey who had the first million dollar live gate or maybe Marciano.
