Nice list man, thanks for posting.
Obviously i have a few things i would change, for instance take Marciano off and put Tyson on. Foreman lower evander higher. The list i have below was made up for statistical information i guess. I made an excel spread sheet and gave each fighter a mark out of 10 for certain attributes and achievments, then got the total results and put them in a table accordingly. I didnt just do it on my own, i gave it to another poster who has quite a few different view, but who i also respect not to be biased (its poet if u know him). I can send you the spreadsheet if you want to take a look, and even edit it yourself.
For me Tyson has to be on the list, achievement wise he is up there in the top 3, and attribute wise he is up there in the top 5. He is let down slightly by the people he fought, but so to are Holmes, Holyfield, Lewis and Marciano. I couldnt help but notice what you said about Holmes beating Ali "that even though he was old, not any fighter can beat Ali". You rate ali at 3, and Holmes at 1. Tyson fought Holmes at more or less the same time in his career as Holmes fought Ali, and he done what no1 could do before and Knocked Holmes out.
