      But can you justify top 10? His resume clearly lacks the stand out names compared to other fighters in the top 10.

      Longevity is not enough to be great IMO.

                  Lennox, Ali, Louis, Johnson, Dempsey, Frazier, Foreman, Holmes, Tyson, Marciano, Holyfield are definitely higher IMO. Then you can throw in Charles, Walcott, Liston, etc. in terms of greatness I'd him a place around 15-20.
