5. mike tyson. tyson was really strong and a good ducker in his prime but lost a little respect for him when he would not quck the game and lost to the new guys but still a legend
4. muhammad ali. I am not even much of a ali fan but he was fun to watch and payed the way for most top boxers
3. george foreman stood his own in fights with the top boxers and gave us great bacon lol!
2. tommy morrison one of the few great white boxers of the modern time great fighter in his prime

Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano, Jack Johnson, Muhammad Ali, Larry Holmes, Mike Tyson, Lennox Lewis, Vladimir Klitschko, Jeff Willard and George Foreman.
My criteria requires that a boxer be a universally recognized world champion with several successful defenses after acquiring that title. Foreman had the least on the list but i put him because he still made a great comeback.
I also didn't list fighters who didn't cross the color line.
Ali, Foreman, Holmes, Tyson, Lewis, Wladimir & Vitali Klitschko, Holyfield, Archie Moore, Rocky Marciano. I've based mine on overall talent and dominance.
Tyson,klitchcos,lewis,louis,marciano,hol... field,ali,foreman,Dempsey,Liston,Holmes,... and maybe Joe mesi if he had continued. Not in that exact order
tyson....marciano...ali...louis...dempse... few more oldies....and no particular order to the aforementioned.
Does it matter? Heavyweight is garbage anyway so damn boring too.
In my list of top 6 I have Muhammad Ali, Joe Louis, Jack Johnson, Larry Holmes, George Foreman and Sonny Liston. Honorable Mentions: Joe Frazier, Mike Tyson, Rocky Marciano, Jack Dempsey, John Sullivan. I Dont think Marciano should be In the top ten seeing as how he fought In a really weak era and beat really noone and almost lost to over the hill fighters. Dempsey and Sullivan also didn't fight In the best era and dodged black fighters and never gave them a chance at the title. Joe Frazier was really good unlike Rocky he actually be people In thier primes, but I have my doubts about him In top 10. Mike tyson was a beast In his prime but I don't think he makes top 10, Lennox was pretty good he might make the cut, what do you guys think, who's your top ten? ' World Colored Heavyweight Champion' considerable:
George Godfrey: Wins 95(KO77) Loss 21(KO6)
Harry Wills: Wins 68(KO54) Loss 9(KO5)
Peter Jackson: Wins 44(KO33) Loss 3(KO3)
Frank Childs: Wins 44(KO25) Loss 3(KO3)
