Happy Independence Day—at least to all the Yankee’s out there. To celebrate the United States’ independence, RBR Boxing decided to compile a list of the 10 greatest Heavyweights the country has even seen.

Each man on this list is being judged not only for his overall body of work—including titles won—but also for how good he was in his prime.

For example, although Larry Holmes defeated Muhammad Ali at the end of Ali’s career, one can logically assume that the fight would have been tougher to call if both men were in their prime.

Read on for RBR Boxing’s list of the top 10 American Heavyweights of all time.
