    Too high: Dempsey, Liston (less so)
    Too low: Lewis, probably Tyson, Wladimir.

    The rest seems ok at a glance, obviously a few names here and there I might have one, maybe two spots higher but they seem to be in the right ballpark roughly speaking. The names above are the only ones I feel are conspicuously too high / low.
