I'm not going to list them out but this was probably the best show ESPN ever put together. Good debates on fighters, good footage and no side bullshit.
I just want to add that Rocky Marciano's KO on Jersey Joe Walcott was one of the sickest I've ever seen.

I think the list looked like this. I'm a little iffy on 7-9.
1. Joe Louis
2. Ali
3. Jack Dempsey
4. Jack Johnson
5. Gene Tunney
6. Rocky Marciano
7. Ezzard Charles
8. George Foreman
9. Joe Frazier
10. Larry Holmes

Rediculous. Any top 10 hevyweight list HAS to start with Ali, Frazier, and Holmes. The other seven are then debatable, but those are the big three.

Ali/Louis are debatable. I don't have a problem with either being No.1. Larry Holmes never had that classic battle or rival and they said that's the reason he didn't rise up on the list.

Frazier I think also gets hurt for his 2 losses to Foreman and his 2 losses to Ali for being huge on the top 10 list.
