As A Collector
As a card collector the 10 boxers I would choose to collect would be
1. Cassius Clay/ Muhammad Ali 2. Jack Johnson 3. Rocky Marciano 4. Joe Louis 5. John L. Sullivan 6. Sugar Ray Robinson 7. Jack Dempsey 8. Mike Tyson 9. Jake LaMotta 10. Abe Attell By no means do I think these are the 10 greatest fighters though some would make that list. This is as a card collector so i took into account cards being available and demand for the boxer from my experiences.

Outside the big four sports I am a "top 10" collector. I have these boxers:
Louis Robinson Marciano Clay/Ali Liston Holmes Leonard Frazier Still looking for Johnson Foreman Duran Mayweather (if that stupid RC ever comes down) Obviously I am weighted to postwar and heavyweights, but these are the guys I like. Probably should add Dempsey to the list.

Reminds me of the barbershop scene in Coming to America.

Tough to argue with the top 5. I'd tinker with the order a bit, personally. Like Adam, move Louis ahead of Ali and possibly into #2.
I think Ezzard Charles deserves to be higher. Arthur
