      Evander Holyfield
      Roy Jones Jr.​
      Ray Leonard
      Finito Lopez

          I'll be, he still is.

          I know I had to remove Sweet Pea and Jofre from my list as I had forgotten that unfortunately they were no longer with us.

            harder than it sounds
            1. Usyk - In my opinion, humble as it is, I do believe the HW champion who upon proving himself superior above all active fighters, proceeds to give a victory speech about his sons' youth competition in an entirely different sport is the single greatest man to hold said title.
            2. Evander
            3. Floyd
            4. Roy
            5. Spinks
            6. Mike
            7. B-Hop
            8. Lewis
            9. Holmes
            10. Wlad

                    Spinks greatness is due to his work at Lt Heavy. Arguably makes the Mt Rushmore of Lt Heavyweights, I rank him mostly due to his work as a Lt Heavy. Not by getting knocked out in the last fight of his career to a prime HOF heavyweight while fighting above his best wt class.
