Holyfield drops to fourth at least. maybe more. Prime Bowe is better than prime Holyfield, but was he greater? I suppose, depnding on what is great.

Klitschkos have potential to rise, depnding on who climbs the ranks to challenge them.

Foreman is overrated. especially post Ali Foreman. But he did generate a lot of excitement, or should I say nostalgia.

That's it.
i agree with the tyson pre jail in top 3, and holyfeild in bottom 6, i would have put morrison in top 4 pre HIV scare and keep holmes where he is , he was a great fighter, he was ali's sparring partner and never got the rckog he deserved, i would also put there marciano and lewis, even spieling they where all tough, not as heavy as the new breads of heavy but all the same power, i would also like to rate TUA, he was never given a masive shot other than lewis, i guess he went in there scared as most people did, thats just my thought but all hail to heavyweight fighters for sticking it out over the years, it went from best division to greed then to shambles and the ones still there are really trying to succeed in the division.
