    IMO...

    Ali: Foreman, Liston, Frazier
    Lewis: Klitschko, Holyfield, Tyson
    Mayweather: Pacquiao, Coralles, Hatton
    Foreman: Frazier, Norton, Moorer

    There are more, of course, but that's just ideas.
    I would give it to Ali because when he beat his best three, all three were in their primes. I would list Mayweather's best three as Genaro Hernandez, Corrales and Hatton because the Pacquaio fight came to late.

    Also, I would throw Evander Holyfield on the list with Tyson (two times) and Foreman.

      Both Barerra and Casamayor were shot when Marquez fought them. However, Barerra was still a good fighter when he fought Pacquaio the first time and Casamayor was good enough for Pacquaio to avoid at 135 for a fight against David Diaz instead.

        You are wrong! Golovkin didn't fight the Pizza Hut manager. It was the Pizza Hut janitor!

          Lennox lewis...really? The wins you list are a fight that he was arguably losing and 2 past their prime fighters...tyson was an absolute shell. He definitely doesn't have anywhere near the best top 3 wins in history.

            3. Ike Quartey
            The win over Whitaker was a robbery. The win over Quartey was a gift. Chavez was being prepared for admission to a Mexican nursing home when De La Hoya fought him.

            De La Hoya's best win was over Fernando Vargas. I also thought he beat Trinidad (even though I was a fan of Trinidad at the time) and I thought he beat Mosley in the second fight.

                    You list Pacquiao, but not Mayweather, who beat Pacquiao?

                      Pacquiao came too late? He was considered the #2 P4P (only behind Mayweather) when Mayweather beat him.
