An interesting heavyweight all-time ranking

[PainfromUkraine]

Was reading an article and came across this top 12 all time heavyweight opinion ranking by the author, struck me as quite interesting with some selections and positioning that maybe wouldn't be expected:

1: Muhammad Ali
2: Jack Johnson.
3: Joe Louis.
4: Rocky Marciano.
5: Jack Dempsey.
6: George Foreman.
7: Larry Holmes.
8: Joe Frazier.
9: Lennox Lewis.
10: Evander Holyfield.
11: Vitali Klitschko.
12. Sonny Liston.

So, do you think this is a good ranking? Who would you omit or switch? Write down your personal top 12 in full if it's interesting or different!

Lennox has to be higher. I don't give a **** what anyone says.

[SN!PER]

Jack Johnson is too high and Tyson deserves to be in there.

I think I would put him higher personally too, due to the sheer size advantages over some fighters back in the day, together with the skill level. H2H for sure higher.

Yeah, seeing Johnson in there near the very top was one of the biggest surprises for me. Tyson, based on his short but explosive and vicious prime and ability to knock any man out likely merits him a spot in there too.

Jack Johnson is to high,and Smokin Joe should be above Larry Holmes.

Everything else is about right.

I have always thought Lennox Lewis was a great fighter. I rate him higher than most do.

H2H, I think he can beat that whole list, minus a prime Ali.
