    List wise I'd have to give it some thought but the man I hinted at would most definitely be in my top 10. More ko's then Tyson, Foreman and Valero combined. Top 10 welter. Top 10 middle. Top 5 super middle. Top 3 light heavyweight. Easy top 10 heavyweight. And he was 5 foot 7.

    Tommy Burns, born Noah Brusso. Was one helluva fighter and 5ft 7 but I wasn't aware of him fighting at other weights. Bob Fitzsimmons was a multi weight champion and quite small at 5ft 11 from just down the road from me but I'm stuck on this one.

    Well out of the list I say Holyfeild should be up there I rate him over Tyson on resume alone. Say what you want about Bowie but Holyfeild was the only one to beat him and had to deal with over 30 pounds of weight advantage. As for Lewis the rematch was a close one and Holyfeild was 37 by then and almost beat him at such a late age as well. I think Longevity is important but resume has to be there as well reason I have trouble with every era that is not the 70's or the 90's because they were so stacked.

    I cringe at people calling Marciano a heavyweight. I know he was in his day, but come on, if he faced any of the decent fighters of the last 30 years he'd of been destroyed.

    Excluding the last few years of course.
