i think in hindsight i would put them in a joint position because louis did dominate the division all through the 40s.
sorry im taking time to reply i was eating
holmes held the belt for 7 1/2 years

holyfield was the only 4 time heavyweight champ (legitimatelly he was only 3 time, but the same as ali)

but what did marciano do to give you that opinion? really all you are really saying is marciano should be second because he was undefeated
louis held the belt for nearly 12 years.
