    Lennox Lewis circa 2000 (say around the Michael Grant fight)

    vs

    Mike Tyson circa 1988 (around the Larry Holmes fight)

    vs

    Larry Holmes circa 1979 (around the Shavers rematch)


    Who was the best fighter between these three and who would emerge victorious in a round-robin tournament?

    :thumbsup

    In the ring, though?

    88 Tyson takes both, easily.

    Lennox vs. Holmes would be very competitive.

    Prime Lewis beats Prime Tyson, given Tysons struggling against similarly built, but far inferior opponents to Lewis.

    Lewis also beats Holmes.
