No Rushmore, more like 9th or 10th. There were just too many great heavyweights.
Ali, Foreman, Frazier, Marciano, Louis, Johnson, Holmes, Norton; I'd put all of those ahead of Tyson

This is where you start to lose me. Holmes was garbage and arguably more a beneficiary of the dwindling heavyweight division than Tyson. Norton was basically Tyson-lite.

Lennox Lewis, Holyfield, Bowe, probably both Klitchkos. I love, love, love Mike Tyson. One of my favorite athletes of all time. But he's nowhere near a top 10 heavyweight or a top 40ish overall boxer. Razor Ruddock may be the best heavyweight he ever beat. Who? Exactly.

If you've got all of them ahead of him, you need to go ahead and add Lennox Lewis as well.
