    Prime Lewis had a suspect chin. Prime Wlad has power to hurt him.

    prime wlad got kod by sanders, prime lewis has more power than sanders, longer arms and better technic. prime has also not the best chin compared too his brother.

    Though Larry Holmes & Lennnox Lewis are the most complete heavyweights of this lot, a peak Tyson would still have a very good chance of knocking them out. The only guy who'd last in there for 12 rounds with him is probably Vitali.

    1. Tyson
    2. Lewis
    3. Holmes
    4. Vitali
    5. Bowe
    6. Wladimir
    7. Holyfield

    This just isn't true.

    Bowe was an exceptional fighter on the inside, he'd have his hands full with Tyson but to say he'd be shredded is off the mark.

    Holyfield edged him on the outside in their return fight, not sure about dominating - he's just not tall enough or long enough to do that.

    He'd destroy Vitali like a ginger haired stepchild, wouldn't be pretty at all.

    Swap Wlad and Vitali around and that list is pretty much bang on :good

    :nono

    The only obvious choice is Vitali - at the bottom.

    Wlad above Lennox is laughable.

    :lol:

    I love Wlad but I couldn't see him beating Lewis at all. He's just too reluctant to let his hands go (see the Haye fight) despite punching hard enough to get Lewis's attention.

    I just think Lennox would smell blood and go right after him from the word go - perhaps stopping him very early, maybe even in the first round.

    Primes, head to head...

    1) Holmes
    2) Lewis
    3) Tyson
    4) Wlad
    5) Bowe
    6) Vitali
    7) Holyfield

    4 - 7 are all pretty close though and I'd be fine with flipping any of those around. I've gone back and forth on Holmes vs Lewis head to head for years now, and I think Holmes just has a slight edge in almost every area.

    To me, Tyson seems obvious at #3 though. I have little question that prime Holmes or Lewis beats Tyson 7 times out of 10, but I also have little question that prime Tyson would have beaten Wlad, Holyfield and Bowe. Vitali might be tough for him though.
