    Foreman, though I could potentially see the argument for Johnson.

    No wrong answer here; any pick is fine with me.

    I like Rocky though.

    There is a wrong answer imo. I just cant see how one can rank Dempsey above guys like Foreman or Frazier.

    Here's my list for interrogating a HW top ten.

    1) Are Louis and Ali one and two in any order?
    2) Is the list comprised of people from my top 16?

    If the answer to both of these questions is "yes" I pursue no arguments :lol:

    Listons title defense over Patterson doesn't surpass Foreman's Norton and Frazier imo.

    Foreman, though Marciano isn't far away.

    George won the title twice, the second time against a practically undisputed champ and at a seriously advanced age.

    I went with Marciano but that’s not set in stone.
