But..it’s their list and everyone is entitled to their opinion.

I like to think that the list should incorporate “favourite” boxer as well as “best” boxers that can compete in “All” eras.

Marciano would get destroyed in certain eras but a Mike Tyson can compete in “every” era..that’s important to me.
Depends on how you are defining Mount Rushmore. For me it more has to do what they did for the sport of boxing. So while Tyson is nowhere near the best heavyweight ever, he is on my list because of what he did for boxing. Otherwise, I would just list the 4 best fighters ever.
