Top ten Heavyweights in the post Ali Era

There weren't 10 heavyweights in the post-Ali era deserving to be on any Top 10 list.

Only Holmes, Holyfield, Tyson, and Lewis deserve that list.

Riddick Bowe, the 2 K bros., Michael Moorer (you gotta be kiddin me), etc. just don't belong on any Top 10 list.

Hence why this thread is called Top ten heavyweights in the post Ali era. If you had to pick 10 then who would be in that list?

8. Wladimir Klitschko
9. David Tua
10. Michael Moorer

Haven't included Foreman because his prime was pre-Ali's decline. He would still probably get in there, but just didn't feel to put the faded version in. It was tough picking the bottom two, had both Byrd & Golota right around there.

Ike - Are you serious? He is totally unproven and had no discipline. He won a decision over Tua and KO'ed Byrd and he is top ten of the last 25 Years (just behind Holyfield)? Come on now.

There was quite a gap between the top 5 & the rest, and it may be due to the fact the Klitschkos bore me to death, but he was awesome, and I think it he wasn't a dirty rapist piece of shit, then he would have been the Heavyweight star of this decade. What's yours then?

Then why are you bothering to post? Are you just wanting to show off your ignorance so bad you decided to comment on this thread?
