    I've just realised this is Old Foreman number 3.

    What the hell?

    He couldn't beat Morrison, Holyfield, Schulz or Stewart.

    He beat Moorer with a come from behind ko in his only victory over a ranked opponent.

    How is the third best HW in history?

    Not to mention he is quite cleverly a worse version of Prime George.

    Tyson No.1 except he threw away his career.
    Foreman is in the top 10, probably Frazier, I feel Usyk can on to stake his claim as one of the heavyweight greats.
    Holmes No.2

    I think this gets harder as the years go on, so many variables. H2H or resume is very hard to choose including eras etc so here goes:

    1. Ali (unquestionable)
    2. Lewis
    3. Holmes (2 - 4 could easily change)
    4. Louis
    5. Foreman
    6. Holyfield
    7. Frazier
    8. Tyson
    9. J. Johnson
    10. W. Klitschko
