Teddy Atlas' top ten heavyweights of all time, do you agree? If not, what is your list??

Ali nor Holmes were as good boxers as Billy Conn, neither guy was also capable of moving the way he did BECAUSE they were 40lbs heavier… size isn’t the only advantage, Louis would defeat Ali for my 0.2 too savvy, the moments and close fights in the 60s he had, Bonavena, Frazier Norton, Lyle… yeah I’d say Louis gets him his gifts disguised a comparatively pedestrian boxer, Blackburn and Louis would see right through it the way Norton and Futch did.

 

Tunney at #7 is verging on the absurd. I'd struggle to have Dempsey ahead of the likes of Holmes and Frazier.

 

Right off the top I'd remove Tunney and Usyk from this list and replace them with Frazier and Liston. (After that adjustment I'd have to think about how to rank them 1 through 10 but removing Tunney and Usyk altogether is a no-brainer!)

PS--If I'm watching film of Mike Tyson at his overpowering mid-late 80's peak I might be inclined to sneak him in the top-10 list as well--(would have to ponder who to remove--possibly Johnson or Marciano.)

 

It's a testament to how great and special Usyk is that he doesn't need to be in a 'do or die'

Although Fury 1 was close and very competitive.
