I am starting a Heavyweight tournament of 32 boxers...
8 boxers have qualified from this era.

They are:
Ali
Foreman
Frazier
Liston
Patterson
Norton
Spinks
Johansson

[Ezzard]

Ali 60
Frazier 51
Foreman 49
Liston 44
Paterson 29
Norton 28
Quarry 22
Young 12
Ellis 11
Ingo 10

[yancey]

Ali
Frazier
Liston
Foreman
Norton
Patterson
Young
Quarry
Ellis
Lyle
Ingo
Bugner
Terrell
Williams
Bonavena
Chuvalo
L. Spinks

I'll go with this order, especially the top ten.

This list also has Patterson above Quarry, and Quarry above Ellis, as it should be.

People constantly rate Quarry over Ellis. Why?
Ellis won the head to head battle. Quarry's record outside of this is is not really that much (if any) better than what Ellis did.
