    Yep it's not bad, I've never been able to see past Ali for top spot though.

      No way can Lennox be on a top 10 list, I'm sorry. But a good list overall, though. I have Ali #1 as well, it's tough but when you think about all the top guys he beat there's no way around it, he deserves the spot. I'd probably move Tunney down the list a bit and put Louis #2.

        These lists are always subjective, but Sonny Liston at number 7?? Two successful title defenses over a china-chinned Floyd Patterson does not equate to 7th best heavy of all-time in my books. Liston is top 20 at best.

            Well I Don't seem to have done too badly, I DID Think about Liston too, but I Just couldn't fit him in there, there's nobody I Could leave out to fit him in.

              1) Ali
              2) Foreman
              3) Marciano
              4) Tunney
              5) Louis
              6) Lewis
              7) Holmes
              8) Holyfield
              9) Frazier
              10)Tyson

              Actually, I'd agree with you on this for the most part. I'd flip Louis and Foreman and move Frazier ahead of Holyfield. I'm a bit iffy on Tyson in there, but I'll let that slide.

              Nice list, sir!

              On a side note, this is the second time I've agreed with Martin on something. I think I'm turning British =(
