Switch Lennox and Larry Holmes and you have yourself a list.

My list has changed since then, and I think lists depend on your criteria. It's easy to agree or criticize someone elses list but before doing so you need to know the criteria they used in making their selections. Check pages 18 and 19 for mine.

1> Muhammad Ali (The Greatest)
2> Joe Louis (Can't argue with those defenses)
3> Rocky Marciano (Undefeated is undefeated, also with that stamina chin and punching power he would have given anyone a fight)
4> Jack Johnson (Years ahead of his time)
5> Jack Dempsey (Awsome in his era)
6> Larry Holmes (So Underated)
7> George Foreman (A short peak but some peak)
8> Lennox Lewis ( History will judge him well)
9> Mike Tyson (Explosive but limited)
10>Joe Frasier (A Personal favourite)

Honourable mentions must go to Sonny Liston and Evander Holyfield

1. Muhammad Ali

Personality does it for me.

2. Mike Tyson

Unmatched in his prime, would have beaten anybody.

3. Lennox Lewis

The main man right hurrr.

4. Marciano

Undefeated, not a bad word to say about him. He just wasn't good enough to watch to be No.1

5. George Foreman

Big G man c'mon! Brilliant to watch, brilliant comebacks...

6. Joe Louis

Brilliant, I just can't rate him above the others though ^

7. Larry Holmes

Not exiting enough to be in top 6.

8. Joe Frazier/Jack Dempsey

True warriors.

9. The Real Deal Holyfield

Such a nice guy!

10. Jack Johnson

I never really liked him..

Great to have you back. What's your take on the current crop of heavyweights?

You have the Brothers Klit followed by a bunch of has-beens, never-weres and blown up contenders from the lower weight classes....what's not to like? All sarcasm aside the once marquee division is an eyesore, IMO anyways.

Plus we have another treat in store.... Roy Jones says that after he gets to fight either Jeff Lacy or Glen Johnson he plans to move back up. If that happens its just another washed-up would be contender. Who wants to see Vlad fight Roy? Lennox has been the only bright spot in what? 10 years? How many so called 'heavyweight saviors' have we been thru?

I'm sure I'm forgetting someone, but you get the idea.. however we may have some relief in sight with guys like Chris Arreola, Alexander Povetkin and David Haye....
