Strangely, It doesn't seem to be the consensus in here, though.

I did highlight that in the thread about Jack Johnson recently. His resume outside his Title reign is excellent IMO and add his reign ontop of that which is atleast decent aswell IMO.

Honestly, I like to rate in tiers. Individual rankings are too hard and fluctuate too much. But for me, there's the Ali/Louis tier, then there's the next three (Holmes, Johnson, Foreman), then the next tier (Dempsey, Lewis, Liston, Frazier, Marciano), etc. etc. They still switch around some (Dempsey jumps back and forth from 2 to 3, for example) but I think it's easier and less artificial.

Originally posted by Barnburner View PostIt seems Ali and Louis are just leagues above everyone else and from then on, a mad scramble ensues for the remaining places in the Top 10 with almost any order being regarded as acceptable.
I'm hoping to stir up an insightful debate here, so people can have references when compling their own Top 10 Heavyweight lists.
After 1 and 2 it becomes a lot more difficult and subjective.
