    Ha ha you do this thread every three years mcvey. Tbf it's always a good one.

    11 - Sonny Liston
    12 - Jack Johnson
    13 - Jim Jeffries
    14 - Harry Wills
    15 - Jack Dempsey
    16 - Sam Langford
    17 - Floyd Patterson
    18 - Ezzard Charles
    19 - Jersey Joe Walcott
    20 - Ken Norton

    I don't do Jackson or Sullivan but if I did, they'd be around the bottom of this list. They might get the nudge though when Usyk and Fury retire.

    I only consider retired fighters and also don't consider myself knowledgeable enough on Sullivan to assess his historical standing, so don't consider him:

    11. Foreman
    12. Frazier
    13. Wills
    14. Dempsey
    15. Holyfield
    16. Charles
    17. Langford
    18. Bowe
    19. Tunney
    20. Vitali
