To Brockton Bomber - I don't think Marciano should be number 2 but lower, Jack Johnson wasn't all time great based on what I know (maybe good for his period) so I don't think he should be in there. Foreman should be higher.

To spekterscript - Jack Johnson above Ali is nuts, Marciano above Lennox is nuts.

To Punisher136 - I agree with your points not your order.
Jack Johnson decimated the competition so his place in the top 10 is secured. In his autobiography Muhammad Ali says that Joe Louis and Jack Johnson are the 2 greatest heavies of old. Also in sports documentaries Jack Johnson's domination in his division during his time is compared to Babe Ruth's dominance in hitting home runs. This is quite a statement.
I just think the modern day boxing is much better than the early 1900s so Jack Johnson
wouldn't mean much in say the 60s 70s Heavyweight division.

Jack Jackson fighting the likes of leon spinks, Joe Fraizer, Ken Norton, Floyd Patterson, George patterson, Archie Moore. Ali beat all this fighters. See my point!
