    There's a lot of good answers here and its certainly not an easy question to address.

    Some of these are a bit weak, imo.

    I think at the mimimum we should be looking for fighters with 2 or 3 names you'd also expect to see on the "ATG top 15" at the very least.
    Muhammad Ali arguably has 4 "top 10" ATGs

    Chuvalo has at least three of the ATG Top 10 guys - Ali (twice), Foreman and Frazier.

    He also fought Floyd Patterson, Jimmy Ellis, Ernie Terrell, Oscar Bonavena, Jerry Quarry, Zora Folley, Cleveland Williams, Buster Mathis, etc.

    I think Evander Holyfield meets that standard, though at least 2 of his best names were past prime if that's also being factored.
