    Evander Holyfield
    Lennox Lewis
    George Foreman
    Muhammad Ali
    Jack Dempsey
    Sonny Liston
    Joe Frazier
    Vital Klitchko
    Wladimir Klitchko
    Mike Tyson
    Larry Holmes
    Jack Johnson
    Rocky Marciano
    I also take into consideration the manner in which they beat the opposition that they beat .
    I must also add that this is a very flawed system of ranking since it doesn't take into consideration the opposition that beat them and its own manner .
    Saying Lennox Lewis beat Vitali Klitschko doesn't count .
    Saying Lennox Lewis beat Oliver McCall doesn't count .
    Saying Vitali Klitschko beat Ross Puritty doesn't count .
    Saying Evander Holyfiled beat Bert Cooper doesn't count .
    Saying Michael Moorer beat Bert Cooper doesn't count .
    Where are Riddick Bowe , Corrie Sanders and Oliver McCall ? they were champions weren't they ?
    But , going by my understanding of the thread starter's criteria , here it is :

    Mike Tyson : Berbick,Holmes,Spinks,Fergusson,Thomas,Tubbs,Bruno *2,Etienne,Seldon,Ruddock*2,,
    Evander Holyfield : Douglas,Tyson,Moorer,Thomas(*),Tillis(*),Dokes,Til lman,Qawi
    Lennox Lewis : Bruno,Ruddock,Tucker(*),Golota,Rahman,

    George Foreman : Frazier*2,Chuvalo,Lyle,Cooper,Moorer

    Wladimir : McCline,Byrd*2,Rahman,Peters,Austin,Thompson,Barre tt,Brock
    Frazier : Ellis*2,Doug Jones,Ali,
    Ali : Lyle,Ellis,Bonavena,Patterson*2(*2)
    Vitali : Sanders,Peters,Gomez,Hide,


    Sonny Liston : Patterson*2,Zora Folley,Marty Marshall
    Larry Holmes : Ossie Ocassio ,Gerrie Cooney, Mike Weaver
    Jack Dempsey : Gene Tunney,Jess Willard,
    Jack Johnson : Jeanette,
    Rocco Marchegiano : Roland LaStarza

    I disagree that Charles&Cream and probably even Wright don't count for Marchegiano , but I went according 2d rulez

    disclaimer : it is possible that I forgot a few , however , most of the times when it seems like it , it actually is d "doesn't count" case .

    So are we just going off Heavyweight for Holyfeild just wondering keep seeing people include cruiserweight. If we are going by who they beat then i got Ali,Lewis,Holyfeild,Foreman,Holmes,Tyson,Marciono, Frazier, Bowie, Vitali,Wald, Liston, Louis. Brown bomber was king for a while but his defences are full of bums worse then the crop now he had a bum of the month club for god sake. Lewis was king in the best era besides Ali's and if we count Holyfeild cw i would put him above Lewis if we did.
