    Mines is almost the same except I got Walcott instead of Holy.

    1. Ali
    2. Louis
    3. Holmes
    4. Tyson
    5. Foreman
    6. Liston
    7. Frazier
    8. Marciano
    9. Lewis
    10. Walcott

    It gets trickier the further down I go on the list.

    :thumbsup

    Am I the only guy who knows that Holyfield already beat Tyson?.. I have him beating Marciano too. Much respect to Marciano, one of my favorites all time, but he came from an era when HW's were much smaller. I don't care how hard he hit, these guys were much bigger and stronger. Louis was waaay past his prime, so please don't use him as an example.

    5. Foreman
    6. Tyson
    7. Marciano

    I realized I ranked them by greatest not skills.

    6-10 was hard to rank. Interchangable.

    Yeah, that one took me a while to decide. He asked for honesty, and so I gave it to him.
