Tyson has no place to be on a list higher than Foreman. No way jose.

He does on mine and the world will not end; at least not as a result...

I'm just intrigued to hear what makes Tyson a greater heavyweight than George Foreman?

And what about Michael Moorer? Was his heavyweight title reign really impressive enough to put him at top 25? All I remember is his impressive win over Holyfield and getting knocked out by old Foreman.

If Jinx Spinks can make a top heavyweight list, i could see him too.

Going by that logic, Dempsey and especially Jack Johnson should be higher than Frazier? Why aren't they?

Also V. Klitschko over W. Klitschko? Based on what? And what do you base Michael Spinks on? Why is he higher than Patterson for example?

Since Frazier is known to have given Ali his toughest fights, then I believe he deserves a higher place, In fantasy fights, I just dont see Jack Johnson and Jack Dempsey from ever beating the Klitschkos, and speaking of the brothers, they dominated the heavyweight scene when Lewis retired, I guess Vitali is the superior one over Wlad despite a four-year layoff.

I never really respect Floyd Patterson's reign, he even defend his belt against someone making a pro debut, my rating of Spinks is not just winning over Holmes, yes he knock out an overrated Gerry Cooney but for a light heavyweight, its still an impressive win against a full-fledged heavyweight known for his punching power.

he defend his title longer

He defended his title long NOT "he defend his title longer".

You're both wrong. It isn't "he defend his title longer", nor is it "he defended his title long".

"He defended his title longer" is correct.

OK so because Jack Johnson and Jack Dempsey wouldn't beat the Klitschko's they can't rank higher?

What's with the H2H rank being brought into the history section? It's ridiculous.

Tyson is not necessarily a "greater" heavyweight than Foreman, I rank him a notch above because his KO's have left a more lasting impression on me. I think Tyson's predatory urgency in dispatching his opponents is unparalelled. The two are so close, however, I could post a list next week (I hate ties, BTW) and rank Foreman above by virtue of his higher KO percentage.
