    but here goes in no particular order

    muhammad ali
    joe frazier
    george foreman
    lennox lewis
    evander holyfield
    joe louis
    jack johnson
    mike tyson
    sonny liston
    ernie shavers

    i expect some ear ache for leaving rocky marciano out
    You include Ernie Shavers, but you leave off Holmes, Marciano and Ezzard Charles? Lewis also ranks way ahead of Tyson on the ATG HW list. It's not even close. Lewis ranks easily ahead of Evander, also.

    i put in no particular order plus already altered my list earlier in post

    I like your list, but I'd put Lennox above Foreman. Even the first incarnation of Foreman was plodding, but Lennox could bang and be light on his feet.

    Lewis is Number 1

    Beat every guy he ever fought and was a 3 time world champ.

    I would place him as a top 10. Even though some of the greats had more overall skills, his size+skills definitely forces his way on to the list.
