Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
WBA and WBC title he won in 1970 from Jimmy ellis--- he lost those titles on his 5th title defense in Kingston Jamaica.
You are mistakenly thinking the New York State Athletic Commission title is the Heavyweight Champion of the World. Those fights were not HW Champ of the World, those are STATE TITLES, SUCH AS CHAMP OF WESSEX, CHAMP OF ESSEX, CHAMP OF DUNDEE, CHAMP OF DUNGHOLAIRE, CHAMP OF NORTHUMBRIA, ETC.....
NICE TRY THOUGH.

You know I don't see Sonny Liston on the list. Only Ali beat him. Wins over big cat Williams Henry Clark and Floyd Patterson twice. I think he could beat most on this list.

Who would come out on top with the most wins if they all fought each other?
Well said sir. In any division a great champion must have 3 things Chin heart and stamina. If Marciano lacked any one of these 3 there is no way he becomes champ. Ali also had all 3 plus ring smarts and speed. Foreman was unbeatable, Ali knocked him out. Liston was unbeatable, Liston was unable to answer the bell for round 7. Ali fought all over the world taking on all comers. Now brothers and Sisters that's great.
It is but people can get confused over what greatest means. Sime fighters have great careers and achievements but others would beat that same fighter.
Foreman had a great career in the end but most on that list would beat him I think.
Klitschko would also probably be higher as would Lewis and Tyson.
