Everything else is up for grabs
Jack Johnson, the first black heavyweight champion when it meant something very special,
Benny Leonard the best Jewish boxer of all time, at a period of enormous inbred Anti-Semitism who made his people proud,
Ted "Kid" Lewis, voted the best British boxer of the 20th century, also Jewish, who lifted his people up during a terrible time of endemic discrimination, in England and Europe,
Joe Louis, who did the same for his people and showed the American people that he was an genuine American at a time of enormous black segregation and degradation and Ku Klux Klanners.
I suppose there could be a half dozen top 4 of similar stature, but the above is my choice.
