    good list for the modern day thinker...ring magazine in '62 had dempsey listed as number 1..i think it is the generation gap that we tend to stick to...as an old timer from the old school i would say ali, dempsey, louis, johnson, jeffries, tunney, marciano, charles, foreman, holmes..

      Yes he does, He was the youngest heavyweight ever.The only person would give a young mike tyson problems (80s Tyson) would be Ali.

                    foreman would destroy tyson by the third round. tyson is just like frazier and look what happened to frazier. it's a bad style matchup. tyson ducked foreman cause he knew he would get crushed! liston is just like foreman, so just about the same thing would happen.

                      holmes was 37 years old, and not as fast, and didn't get enough training time. a prime holmes would have confused, frustrated, then ko'd tyson in 10 or 12 rounds.
