    yeah sorry thats my assessment.

    Mike didnt do enough to warrant the top ten. He had the physical potential in bucketloads to be top 3.

    I think hes knocking on the door, but I agree hes not necessarily in it, perhaps ninth.

    I'd go -

    1.Louis, 2.Ali, 3.Holmes, 4. Johnson 5. Lennox 6. Holyfield 7. Marciano 8.Frazier 9.at this point not sure who gets in, theres too many vying got 9th and 10th places. But Tyson can probably take 9th berth.

    - though I believe peak Tyson would man-o-man have the edge to beat his way up the list to Lennox.

    I love what Jack Dempsey was but one has to be credible, he was very wild, missing lots and getting easily beaten by a LH at only 32 and making only a few actually meaty defences. I'm not one of those who is afflicted by this disease of overrating coooool fighters lol. Perhaps I have Marciano too high though.

    its so difficult to get this right!

    yes I should have him in there, perhaps 10. I am not sure he should be above a FRazier or even Dempsey and Tyson, but he was an amazing destroyer. thank you though!

    Tyson single handedly cleared out a division of fat bums usually with KO's ranging from Round 1-5 of the fight.

    The Klitschkos teamed up to clear out a division of fat bums where each avenged the others' losses usually with KO's in Round 10-12 or UD's.

    Tillis gave Tyson a hard, close fight. Facts.

    Hard and close are not facts. they are opinion. Tyson won 6 rounds without any doubt, and there were two more that could have gone to him. That isn't really close.
