    I disagree. I think it's a tough one to call.

    I think it depends , how people look at diffrent achivements. For me my dad is a big Tyson fan as is my best mate , i like to watch him and i think what he achived at such a young age gives him a great arguement , sam ewith Patterson at the young age and how he was never a natural HW. Tyson usualy slots into my top 10. The more i think about it Vitali dosent fit into my top 15 but i do see how people can have him in. It also makes Lewis win look better :D

    Nice list. :good
    Holyfield at #6 & Tyson at #7 are great placements.
    I personally would have Lewis & Marciano higher, with Johnson & Foreman lower.
    Also i'd definitely have Walcott over Vitali & I consider Wlad to be the greater brother.
    Liston would be in my top 10 too.
