I think Mike should be there around 9 or 10. I think it goes Ali, Louis, Lennox, Foreman, are top four heavyweights all time. Then Norton, Holmes should be there after them maybe Evander Holyfield after that

Great heavyweight punchers like Tyson, Foreman, Marciano and Dempsey will always be highly considered because of their punching power. They can fight a fellow with higher skill and talent and win because of their gift of power.
it means a lot in the competition if you can over whelm your opponent with power.
It helps to have power and a high skill level like Joe Louis!

Top 10 Heavyweights (not in order)
1. Ali
2. Sonny Liston
3. Jack Johnson
4. Rocky Marciano
5. Evander Holyfield
6. Lennox Lewis
7. Joe Frazier
8. George Foreman
9. Jack Dempsey
10. Joe Louis
Runner ups
Larry Holmes
Ken Norton
Floyd Patterson
I really see NO WAY, that anyone can seriously squeeze Mike Tyson in over any of these guys. Mike beat alot of bums and looked very good, once he stepped up in class, he didn't look so hot.

People forget prime Tyson's speed, defense, and power. Holyfield wouldn't have lasted with Tyson. He'd be like Spinks all dazed and dumb. He's not best ever due to longevity but definitely top 10 atg.
