Muhammad Ali was good, but nowhere near the greatest heavyweight of all-time.

Joe Louis's 25 title defenses are virtually meaningless due to his quality of opposition.

George Foreman, Earnie Shavers, and Mike Tyson all had extremely overrated power.

Sonny Liston was a *****.

Larry Holmes's jab wasn't that good.

Wladimir Klitschko's resume, chin, stamina, right hand, left hook, jab, uppercut, body punching, in-fighting, outside-boxing, and versatility are all insanely underrated.

Evander Holyfield's heavyweight resume is sort of pathetic. Fought a lot of no-names, washed-up bums, and average fighters. When he stepped it up, he lost.

Ruslan Chagaev, Sultan Ibragimov, Sam Peter, and David Haye are all top 20 heavyweights all-time (top 10-12 if we're going head to head).

Jersey Joe Walcott was a level or two below a prime Calvin Brock, who in turn is one of the most underrated P4P fighters of the last half century.
