    1 Tyson his fights were so electric the atmsosphere in the Arena at his fights was insane. I don't think any sportmans not just boxer brought that much energy to the ring in the last 30 years.
    2. Dempsey I believe much the same as above for his era.
    3. Greb because his resume is SO good I need to see him fight to see how marvelous he was.
    4. Joe Louis
    5. Duran
    6. Tunney
    7. Langford
    8. Burley
    9. Sullivan
    10. Gatti
