Terrible list...
Where's George Foreman?
You have some terrible names, Leon Spinks!, Michael Spinks, Jimmy Ellis?
Lennox Lewis and Evander Holyfield are far to low imo, they should be atleast top 10.
How the hell did Leon Spinks get on the list, because he beat a old Muhammad ali?
Although Mike Tyson is not the greatest heavyweight out there, he deserves to be in the top 15 greatest boxers of all time.
Re: Top Ten Heavyweight Champs of All-Time
george foreman shouldn't even be in any top 20, Lennox lewis couldn't even go with any of the top 10 and the same for holyfield, leon spinks was 1 of only 5 people that beat Ali, so no matter how old ali was spinks beat him and thats why he is number 8 and as for mike tyson no way could he have beaten any of the 20.

So what if Leon Spinks beat Ali? So did Trevor Berbick, where is he on your top ten?
Leon Spinks is one of the worst heavyweight champions ever, and to say that Mike or George Foreman dosen't desrve a place is a complete and utter joke.
George Foreman has achieved 10 times the amount of greatness than leon spinks, michael spinks and Jimmy Ellis put together.
Re: Top Ten Heavyweight Champs of All-Time
mike tyson at his prime could probebly give any of them fighters in ur top 20 a run for their money and beat most of them

cheers man, but i do think Lennox deserves a top ten place because correct me if i am wrong, but by way of rematch he is one of the few fighters in boxing history to have defeated every single opponent he has ever faced.
Re: Top Ten Heavyweight Champs of All-Time
but imo a great fighter should be able to do it first time round
