I will not reply 2 any1 whom didn't post his alternative list .
My top 10 list of HW's is this.
1. Muhammad Ali
2. Joe Louis
3. George Foreman
4. Joe Frazier
5. Evander Holyfield
6. Lennox Lewis
7. Gene Tunney
8. Larry Holmes
9. Jack Dempsey
10. Rocky Marciano
But now back to your list. You have Valuev as number 1? Is it reverse order of people to hold a HW title? In fact no it can't be as there are the odd decent name scattered here and there. But Oliver McCall number 2? For what? To be a great boxer you must have great mental strength and McCall is the last possible person that springs to mind when that comes into play.
McCall TKOd a prime Lennox Lewis in 2 and KOd Henry Akinwande in 10 .
He also did better than prime Tyson vs a prime Douglas by competitively lasting d distance with him .
Then he also did better than prime Douglas vs Tony Tucker by lasting d distance with him and i doubt if he deserved 2 lose 2 Norris & Tucker .
McCall also KOd Maskaev in 1 and stopped d overrated Bruce Seldon (i don't count Seldon because i don't think much of him , but i know that some of u do) . Also stopped d sometimes overr8ed Francesco Damiani .
Another thing is that Tyson achieved almost if not every 1 of his big wins by cheating . elbows that is .
2 remove d padding from d gloves is a crime , but 2 intentionally and repeatedly accurately hit ppl with elbows is fine . As long as 1's d superstar that is .
McCall was avoided by Riddick Bowe and i'm certain he would have given him his toughest fight even in McCall's worst day .
McCall had withdrawal syndrome in Lewis #2 , and if that was not 2b d case , Lewis would have never signed d contract 4 a rematch .
Valuev and McCall r interchangable . In a way BBG and Vitali R also interchangable .
D top 4 i consider on a level in itself , then Tua , then d level below Tua .
My ranking is h2h based , not sex appeal based like other ppl's .
Nor it is a mix of other ppl's lists like other ppl do .
D least i can have Valuev is #4 .
But i can not bare having him outside of d top 10 , because not only that he was never stopped 4 any reason , he was not even floored 1ce in his entire career .
