    Foreman is another one difficult to rank. Great against some, poor/thin resume otherwise. And then there's the Moorer win.[/quote]

    I agree. Think about this: I don't think we ever saw a prime George Foreman. He first retired after the Jimmy Young bout at 28 (I think) years old. He made a comeback 10 years later. All things being equal, and they rarely are, his peak years would have been 28-32 years old when he was inactive, so we probably never saw the "best" GF. Only my opinion mind, but something I have often thought on.

    Good top ten.

    *one thing, though, if it matters. Louis is not listed among those Marciano defeated.

    No Cleveland williams is highly questionable. He was definitely better than Nino Valdes. Eddie Machen could do nothing in his fight with Williams. Lastarza would have been knocked out early by Williams.
