My co-worker says first overall is Ali followed by Lennox Lewis and Foreman. What is your top three? As I disagree

Was around for all of them, and there was nobody badder than Tyson in his prime/thread.

Lennox and Foreman shouldn't be in anyone's top 3. Ali, Joe Louis, and maybe Jack Johnson at 3.

Greatest career or greatest talent?

Career: Ali, Rocky Marciano, Jack Johnson/Joe Lewis

Talent: Ali, Tyson (although he wasted most of it, he had the talent hands down), Larry Holmes

1 - Tyson (around the time he beat Spinks, he was unbeatable, and the best of any HW at any point in any of their respective careers.)

2- Ali

3- Louis

Joe Louis is #1 in my book,
followed in no order by Ali, Marciano, Holyfield, and Foreman.

1. pre-ban Ali (he was absolutely untouchable)
2. Jack Johnson (watch the documentary, dude was 50 years ahead of his time)
3. Tyson (once he fired Kevin Rooney after the Spinks fight, he unraveled as a fighter)
4. Lennox Lewis (Would have given all of the above a great deal of trouble.)
