    Not a bad list. I might swap Bowe for Liston though.

      Yeah Holmes jab was quick accurate and stinging. Good pick for #1. It was all modern heavyweights though. No lighter class fighters.

        - -Nobody in the history of boxing had a better left hand than Wlad. He won a number of high profile fights that were 98% left hands.

        Nobody's jab was stiffer, but he could adjust it down to the B slap model as he humiliated Haye with, and more importantly he had quarter and half hooks off the jab good for KDs and KOs.

        Best 3 rd millenium heavy record ain't shabby!

                Not sure about a top 5 but some names came to mind...

                3 LHWs, Michael Spinks, Harold Johnson and Tommy Loughran

                2 WWs Ike Quartey, Kid Gavilan

                Liston/Holmes/Ali at HW all for different reasons. All could be countered by the right opponent though

                  Linear fighter who can't jab an angle worth a damn. Fury shut him down with ease using what is usually considered basic footwork. Really just twisted the champ with pivots.

                  Wlad's jab is overrated by a lot of people. Clearly you're full kool-aid about it. Holmes can hit people who can move.

                    - -What'd Ali look like at age 39?

                    Looked drunk on U koolaide is how he looked. Insert LEON for a good rubba drub.
