Frazier or Holy for me.Good answer; I’ll accept that; If you had said Liston or above I would have ripped you a new asshole. :bbb :D

1. Ali
2. Tyson
3. Liston
4. Lewis
5. Holmes

Top 5 right there in my book, if you wish to ask about any placements, such as Tyson at #2, feel free to do so.

Well shit, I figure someone should indulge you, not to be argumentative, but..

Tyson over Lewis?

GO!

1. Muhammad Ali
2. Joe Louis
3. Larry Holmes
4. George Foreman
5. Sonny Liston
6. Joe Frazier
7. Lennox Lewis
8. Mike Tyson
9. Riddick Bowe
10. Rocky Marciano

Bowe is a very bold pick. Otherwise not bad, Frazier might be a bit high but I could live with it. Tyson in a top ten is always going to be a bit controversial I think.

Lennox Lewis shouldn't be anywhere near that list much less top 3. That is crazy. No one who get's ktfo by journeymen twice is top 10 of all time because it wasn't anything but pure lazyness on Lewis' part.

Lewis ranks in the upper teens at the most of all time, maybe low 20's.

1. Muhammad Ali
2. Joe Louis
3. Larry Holmes
4. George Foreman
5. Sonny Liston
6. Joe Frazier
7. Lennox Lewis
8. Mike Tyson
9. Riddick Bowe
10. Rocky Marciano

Best list so far - but I think it should be Holyfield instead of Marciano.
