3. JACK JOHNSON - Greatest defensive HW in history, 50 years ahead of his time.

4. LARRY HOLMES - Most underrated HW ever and a almost perfect jab

5. EVANDER HOLYFIELD - Most over achieving HW in history, will to win was amazing

6. GEORGE FOREMAN - Probably the most unique HW because of his 2 separate careers, separated by 10 years

7. ROCKY MARCIANO - To me one of the most overrated HW, fought absolutely nobody in his prime but not too many HW do

8. JOE FRAZIER - He was beat Ali clearly and was life and death with him in the 3rd fight, has to count for something.

9. LENNOX LEWIS - The first true big man HW but was hurt by not getting earlier fights with Tyson, Bowe & Holyfield.

10. MIKE TYSON - Next to Liston the most feared HW ever and probably the biggest disappointment. He could have topped this list.
Lewis at #9? Good reasoning at why he is one the list and fair point on why he is where you put him but #9?...LL fought and beat everyone there was to beat....He is/was one of the most dominate champions of all time...LL ruined a lot of heavyweights when he faced them and put them on the second shelf so to speak....He also had an under rated chin....Agree with the Marciano view....We agree on Johnson 100%....Not sure why you did not include Liston but I stated in my other post why I don't include him though it takes nothing away from the fact he is an ATG just not top 10......And yes for sure Tyson could have been the greatest of all time without even a debate if he did not let everything else blow his career out for him by his outside lifestyle
