My locks for this list would be:
Dempsey
Louis
Ali
Sugar Ray Leonard
Tyson
Cases could be made for Jack Johnson, Sugar Ray Robinson, & Marciano. Only Manny & Floyd would come close today. They're the only fighters I hear people talk about. Honestly, I remember being in school & people talking about Sugar Ray. They talked about Tyson. I never hear anyone talk boxing anymore.
