    You also had Tyson, Lewis, Holyfield etc.

    The top 5 on that list is scary, IMHO.

    Matt's is tough to beat, though John's gives it a run for it's money. Maybe some time around 1918 with Greb, Benny, Langford (past prime), McFarland, Lewis, Britton, Gibbons, Welsh, Wilde, Herman etc?

    Take around 1964/5 and you'd have

    Ali
    Tiger
    Griffith
    Rodriguez
    Jofre
    Harada
    Ebihara
    Accavallo
    Saldivar
    Ortiz
    Laguna
    Elorde
    Locche
