      Apart from this horrible inclusion, good list.

      Let's be realistic though Wlad is top 20 whether anyone likes it or not.

        Shavers KOs both Klitschko's and Haye in one night. He was unlucky he was fighting during Ali's heyday.

            Both of the bros destroy Shavers.

              Was Shavers "unlucky" to lose to Bob Stallings and Ron Stander? Either Klitschko picks him apart from the outside in lopsided fights.

                Quarry was by no means a hard puncher. He was a master or the basics of boxing. Basic counterpunching off the ropes and basic sharp quick combos allowed him to easily dispatch of Shavers. Shavers hit harder than any man, but that was about it. In an ATG list, fighters like Lyle, Quarry and Young (all contenders of the 70s) should rate higher than Shavers without a doubt in my mind. They arent rating very high, but higher than Earnie.

                  Shavers wouldn't get within reach of my top-50, let alone top-15.
