That first 5 seems to be the general consensus, in varied orders. I agree and I think it will be very difficult for any contemporary heavyweight to be a part of this discussion.
1. Ali
2. Louis
3. Foreman
4. Frazier
5. Holyfield
It's hard to put it down to 5. Jack Johnson, Lennox Lewis, Mike Tyson, and Larry Holmes all deserve it too in my opinion.
The top 5 Heavyweights will always differ, but I think the biggest debate is Ali vs Louis in terms of their entire career, impacts on boxing, and the world around them at the time.
