I rank the brothers in top ten from 80's to 10's were i rank them i do no know because i would have to really look at what every one has done. The old timers did not have any of the advantages we have today like peds and nutrition we have today. Only way i could judge them is if we could get them in a time machine and let them have all the advantages then fight that would be the fairest way i guess you could do it. Thats a hard ask though so i tend to just go by dividing up the old and new eras when it comes to heavyweights not so bad with other weight classes.
I somewhat have to agree, it's unfair to judge based on different criteria.
And sure, achievement wise I do consider what Louis did the record breaking affair of course, that was HW, that's what it was. 
What do you mean about Spinks though? Those brothers did not fight each other either did they
