TOP 10 HW of all time personal opinion

Holyfield should not be above Tyson based on their HW body of work.
 
Always needs to be two lists. Overall career/accomplishments and at their absolute peak

Career - Best/peak
Ali - Lennox
Louis - Tyson
Lennox - Ali
Holmes - Holmes
Foreman - Foreman
Wlad - Vitali
Marciano - Liston
Frazier - Louis
Holyfield - Wlad
Tyson - Frazier
Foreman has 2/ 3 title defenses and was oldest heavyweight champion.

Tyson had 10 title defenses and was the youngest .

Your list is decent though I don’t think peak is really included in overall ATG otherwise there would be many more guys on here to an extent but I still can’t see how people put Foreman over Tyson he has done far less other then get a lot of hype for losing to Ali and having a great knockout percentage but even then he hasn’t stopped the guys like Tyson has .
 
In no particular order, maybe chronological

1. Jeffries
2. Johnson
3. Dempsey
4. Louis
5. Marciano
6. Ali
7. Foreman
8. Tyson
9. Holyfield
10. W. Klitschko

I factor in resume/record, historical significance, overall skill.
 
1. Ali
2. Foreman
3. Holmes
4. L. Lewis
5. Tyson
6. J. Louis
7. Frazier
8. Marciano
9. Holyfield
10. Vitali Klitschko
 
It's really difficult to pick a top 10 heavyweight of all time. There are valid arguments for many of these lists. I am still struggling with Ali or Louis for #1. LOL These were incredible fighters who dominated their era.
