In no order and I'm not including fighters that are still active.

Ezzard Charles
Jersey Joe Walcott
Jack Johnson
Jack Dempsey
Floyd Patterson
Sonny Liston
Riddick Bowe
Vitali Klitschko
Harry Wills
James J. Jefferies

No Gene Tunney on my list which is maybe surprising to some. But he only had a handful of fights at Heavyweight not enough of a resume for me.

I also wanted to include Sam Langford but didn't Harry Wills beat him like 13 times ?

I know Sam Langford was a much smaller man and his P4P achievements are amazing.

But talking strictly at Heavyweight wouldn't Harry Wills be ranked higher ?

What do you think @Greg Price99 ? And who out of my list would you replace to make room for Sam Langford.

Langford was past peak at the start, and shot by the end of, his series with Wills. I agree Wills ranks higher at HWZ though.

Langford has a very deep HW win resume and is clearly above JJW, imo, mate.
