I think there is an argument for Foreman being on the list as well.
I like this analysis on a comparison between Foreman and Tyson.
“Foreman is more heavy-handed, Tyson is more explosive. Foreman is more consistently strong with his punches but Tyson is able to generate harder punches as long as he’s not tired and his form is not compromised. In other words, Tyson's best punches hit harder than Foreman's best punches but Foreman's mediocre punches hit harder than Tyson's mediocre punches. Fighting Foreman would be like getting repeatedly hit by sledgehammers. Fighting Tyson would be like having dynamite explode in your face every now and then.”

I think you have a good argument about Shavers being a more powerful puncher but he never won a title so he can’t be in the top 10.

That's why he's not. Foreman isn't there as well but they both are more powerful a puncher than Tyson. Tyson can be at 11 but not in the Top 10, though I accept it's subjective and we may have differences. Will you please give me your list of top 10?

Shavers can't be top 10 because he didn't win a title but Tyson held the title multiple times and so did Foreman. I would probably put both in the top 10.

Just commented on the post with my list. I can't add the guys that fought 300 times. Although impressive, there is no way these guys were fighting ultra competitive competition at that rate. It's very hard to judge the level of competition back.
