Heavyweight ATG lists are always interesting so I thought I'd revive the top10 list according to the late Nat Fleischer.There are some surprises here!! Fleischer lived through the Ali,Frazier era and was known to state that "Ali would not make his top ten ATG heavyweights".
1 Jack Johnson
2 James.J.Jeffries
3 Bob Fitzsimmons
4 Jack Dempsey
5 James.J.Corbett
6 Joe Louis
7 Sam Langford
8 Gene Tunney
9 Max Schmeling
10 Rocky Marciano.......can't agree with that list
Fleischer tho did see them all fight.
Ring Magazine came up with this list
1 Joe Louis
2 Jack Dempsey
3 James.J.Jeffries
4 Jack Johnson
5 Rocky Marciano
6 Gene Tunney
7 Bob Fitzsimmons
8 James.J.Corbett
9 Muhammad Ali
10 Joe Frazier...............circa 1972
Lewis certainly deserves a top 10 ranking.
