    Why does everyone have liston at # 10? that is ridiculous, he is easy top 5 out of these men. Liston cleaned out his era, was one of the most dominant champs of all time in his prim, and rates very highly head to head. Holyfield over Liston is preposterous.

    From the list you have?

    1. Rocky Marciano (Sorry, 49 (43) - 0 Trumps all)
    2. Ali
    3. Foreman
    4. Louis
    5. Holmes
    6. Frazier
    7. Tyson
    8. Holyfield
    9. Liston
    10. Lewis

    Lewis can't be higher than 10. Klitschko was ahead on all the scorecards when the fight was stopped by what was a nasty cut, but was not getting worse and was not bleeding into his eyes. Lewis retired rather than facing Klitschko again, and was even quoted as saying "If I can't fight Tyson again, I'll retire."

    Tyson was also past his prime, when he fought Holyfield. Tyson and Marciano proved that small fighters can hurt the bigger ones.

    1. Ali
    2. Lewis
    3. Louis
    4-10 too difficult to judge
