There is no definitive answer Several names are commonly at or near the top of such lists. Ali - hard to pick against in a head to head match

Louis - greatest number of title defenses best legacy

Dempsey - greatest number of 1st round KO's

Marciano - undefeated (nuff said)

Johnson - first black HW champ overcame great prejudice - master of defense Are the names most often suggested. The International Boxing Research Org. also has high regard for Jefferies. Some knowledgeable modern fans place Tyson and Lewis at or very near the top. Ususally modern list have Ali and Louis #1 and #2 but the order changes from list to list depending on a varity of circumstances.
