Frazier OVERRATED?!?!?!? .....the list "peeleft:

[komandante]

It's all Karma, the rope make him dope. All those big stinky mouths was inherited from Ali which were all bad. He converted to islam to avoid draft and justify his womanizing. Don't think he's a good example for all human beings he's not.

On a more serious note though, it's ridiculous to think that someone would need Islam as an excuse to be against the Vietnam War and to enjoy the company of women.

I'd agree with some things on the list, but in the parts that it's off... it's waaaaaaaay off...

Frazier over-rated? yet he puts buster douglas, spinks, rahman, and klits on the list? I think this guy had some psychodelics in his coffee when he wrote up this one.

This is one of the most ****** list i have ever seen! Why because it's missing roy jones jr and floyd mayweather jr , bernard" the executioner "hopkins , edwin valero etc.! These are game changers!!! They got the klitschko brothers, they haven't even fought a good heavy wieght, and when they did, they got beat. If we can't respect the now then how can we repsect the past and the future!!!

Come on man, this is not an all-time pound for pound list. Its Heavyweights.

And by the way, Edwin Valero? Really?

To the above poster: It's a heavyweight list you prune!

Anyway. I agree with Holmes being second, I rate him highly, simply in the shadow of Ali at the time. Holmes in his prime would beat the Klits and the likes of Haye within 6 rounds today.

I'm not sure about Leon and Michael Spinks though...

did he miss out any HW champs (lineal) from Ali to now?

If not, thats why they are listed.

Ok. It is just a one-man ranking but, hey, that opinion may still influence casual fans which instead of giving them additional knowledge, the article actually gives them wrong information.
