    Black or White, Louis clean out his era, not his fault Billy Conn or Buddy Baer were on top at the time of Louis's rein, and when a black contender like Walcott finally climb the ranks, Louis fought him.

    I'll go with the gentleman who defeated two consensus top ten all-time greats and a bubble top ten all-time great.

    I'll go with the gentleman who finished nearly everyone he faced before his first retirement and held the title for 11 years.
    Hard to make a legacy to be included in the top ten when some ****er is holding the title hostage for much longer than your prime lasts.
