I haven't put marciano here because the best opponents he beat where out of their prime , if you say we should put marciano in the top 10 then we should put valuev to there after another 10 wins without loosing.
If we're basing on Accomplishments and not potential how can Tyson be rated above Holyfield?...since a supposedly shot holyfield was hand picked as a sacrificial lamb for Tyson and spanked him...Don't go with the "youngest champ in history" boloney because then you'd have to consider his loss to the C rated Douglas as a prime fight...this is just Tyson nuthugging...Tyson above Holmes, Frazier, Liston and marciano?!?!? ...ridiculous...question how long did Tyson reign as the "Undisputed Champ"?

Regarding Marciano...he fought the best talent available and like Holmes fought during a time were he did not have great fighters to cement his legacy...but you have Joe Louis at number 2(which I don't dispute) and Lewis' opposition was just as weak...Joe lost to Ezzard Charles who he outweighed by over 30 lbs! and Patterson, what justifies his place on that list?

1. Muhammed Ali
