    I feel like many people won't feel like sharing, because it makes them vulnerable in debates, but I'll go. Please excuse the lack of counter culture in my picks.

    1. Muhammad Ali
    2. Jack Johnson
    3. Joe Louis
    4. Sugar Ray Robinson
    5. George Foreman

    Incredibly hard list to come up with.
    Only my top three do I have utmost certainty about.
    And honestly, 2 and 3 are interchangeable depending on the day.

    1st Jack Dempsey
    2nd Joe Frazier
    3rd Mike Tyson
    4th Sonny Liston
    5th would be a tie between Earnie Shavers and Gerry Cooney, can't pick between the two

    I appreciate the more aggressive heavyweights
