        I have to respectfully disagree, Ali is far an away the best and we didnt even get to see his prime years, he fought during the golden era of heavyweights and was the top guy.

          C. Deontay Wilder
          1. Muhammad Ali
          2. Joe Louis
          3. Jack Johnson
          4. Larry Holmes
          5. George Foreman
          6. Rocky Marciano
          7. Evander Holyfield
          8. Joe Frazier
          9. Lennox Lewis
          10. Jack Dempsey

          11. Sonny Liston 12. Jersey Joe Walcott 13. Ezzard Charles 14. Mike Tyson 15. Wladimir Klitshcko

          With Heavyweights in ranking in an all-time sense you also have to factor in relative to their era due to the size differences. More so in any division the Heavyweight has changed on size. I would absolutely pick Lewis or Bowe over Marciano but their resumes and legacies not at all.

            I know you love him but Wlad is too high considering how many times he was knocked out by boxers who weren't that good. He had a great long run as champion but that doesn't make his KO losses completely disappear. Vitali should be on the top 10 list above Wlad in my opinion. He knocked almost everybody out that he fought and was never knocked down in his career. He had the solid chin, ruggedness and stamina that Wlad lacked. He was the better brother and was very hard to beat. Overall your list seems reasonable but the prime Tyson probably should be on it. He had a short prime but he was a real monster during that prime. If it was my list Sonny Liston would be on it.

              If Wilder is the best heavyweight who ever lived then Molina should be somewhere in the top 10 for giving him a good fight.

                  Lewis is very good but he had a somewhat undependable chin. He was knocked out twice in his prime by two guys who weren't that good. He came back to knock them both out but that doesn't make those two KO losses go away. If he had not been cut I think Vitali would have knocked him out. Lewis retired rather than face Vitali in a big money rematch. He was old and had a right to retire at that time but I don't think he was the best heavyweight in history. Top 10 yes. Number 1? Not on my list.

                    Molina would be 17th just after Stiverne.
