Can you read?...I said "NO PARTICULAR ORDER"..holy cow!
I hadn't read that no.
Regardless, I don't think Gene Tunney should be on a list higher than LL. I don't think Marciano should be either. Liston is a maybe - he's a 10-13 for me. I would have liked to have seen Holyfield in there as well. Charles, Langford, Walcott, Tyson etc would all be in with a shout for a spot in the top 12 as well.

Tunney never gets credit but I believe he only lost one fight to Harry Grebb.
He was the first scientific fighter and he beat Dempsey twice.Even Muhammad
Ali talked highly of his skills.I love Lennox Lewis,the only problem is that he
got stretched out by two "average"fighters.I know they were avenged,but
if Muhammad Ali got knocked out by Carl Mildenburger and Cleveland Williams
he certainly wouldn't be the greatest or even make a top 10 maybe.

He never gets credit? He is frequently mentioned alongside the best LHWs of all times. His division. He does have one of the best wins at HW, but he's only fought there a couple of times. Not enough to deserve a top ten spot.
Cleveland Williams is not in the same league as Mildenburger! He was a solid top 5-10 fighter at the time. Rahman was a bum in my opinion.
Yup, horrible losses both of them. And avoidable as well, especially the rahman loss. he did what any great fighter would do though and avenged both his losses. He has a pretty great career and a good resume + good overall skills.
He's border line top ten for me, but could easily put him there.
