    Based on accomplishments, reign, consistency .... Wladimir Klitschko probably deserves to be #4, behind Louis, Ali and Holmes only.

    They probably all have younger brothers and some sort of complex about them.

    Its a compliment coming from a limited boxing mind like yours. You are a Large man jockstrap sniffer and a Foreman worshiper which would make Ron Lyle an ATG

    Lennox Lewis doesnt belong in the top ten and Larry Holmes should be higher, but other than that a good list. Spot on top 3.

    What planet do you live on? I am not even close to being a Lewis fan, but he is a consensus top 10, and while not a lock for a top 5 (He makes mine, even though I don't like it!), he certainly deserves consideration.

    To high meaning, they should have a higher number? Cause IMHO Jeffries/Johnson are borderline top 10 and 10-13 seems about fair (I think Johnson even has a case for 5-10, even though I didn't go there). Marciano...not sure if you like him or not, but he should be a top 10 lock, and by a consensus of knowledgeable fans and students of the sweet science he is.
