4) Foreman
5) Dempsey
6) Lewis
7) Marciano
8) Frazier
9) Tunney
10) Tyson

That is a really ****in good group of names, but what about Holyfield? I definitely put Holyfield ahead of Tyson. Evander's only losses (in his prime) came against bigger guys or when he wasn't healthy

[K-Nan]

You have Liston, possibly Langford and Tyson on that list.............yet no Gene Tunney. That's not even feasible.

Considering Tunney was a better fighter than all of those three.

He had Dempsey's number, and that guy has Dempsey at 3..

so far it seems you guys overrate Frazier and underrate Holyfield

You wanna know the funny thing? Evander is my favorite HW of all time.. But when I make my list, one thing that I do is think of prime-for-prime match-ups.. And Holy's size would probably keep him from beating a lot of the top guys. I definitely wouldn't argue with him making a list, but imo Tyson's legacy is greater than Holy's..

Tyson lost to Buster Douglas. Call it what you want, but that is very, very bad considering he was in his prime.

Holyfield's losses came against potentially great fighters and he had an excuse for them. Bowe was a lot bigger, he wasn't healthy for Moorer/3rd Bowe fight

its a completely opinion based ranking just like yours. my ranking is based on 30% skill and 70% accomplishment. so I disagree with your OPINION that tunney was better than tyson.

I feel like that is a stereotypical order except for maybe switch marciano and holmes.
