    I believe Marciano "RANKS" higher based on his undefeated record and his more title defenses as "Undisputed World Champion" however Holyfield probably would have beaten him if they had fought in a dream fight. Marciano spent more time at the top as the main man to beat.

    Holyfield went 4-0 in HW World Title fights before losing to Bowe. He regained the title vs. Bowe then lost it to Moorer. He beat Tyson and went 4-0-1 in title fights before losing to Lewis. 9-3-1 in HW World Title Fights before his fights with Ruiz. He also went 6-0 (5) in CW World title Fights. I know Tyson wasn't the linear champ when Holyfield beat him but Tyson did have 2/3 of the major titles prior to his fight with Holyfield.
