    Yeah, the Marquez brothers without any question. H2H and accomplishment wise, they're much stronger than the Klitschkos.

    Edit: I'm not considering the Gibbons because I don't know enough about them and have never seen them fight.

    The Currys both won world titles and match up OK against the Spinks bros IMHO.

    I was kind of hesitant in putting them in this because they are half-brothers. But if you want to add them and if they are your pick, fine by me.

    Well, if the Olympics were any indication, I would have put Michael and Leon except Leon's career was less than impressive.

    Why wouldn't they be on there? Both have been 2 time world champions and both, at one time or another, have been regarded as the best heavyweights in the world. Wladimir is clearly heads and shoulders above any other heavyweight at the moment and he would be a threat to many great heavyweights.

    Two time champions? You're making that up.
