    Holmes or Lewis :think

    You can make a case for Holmes, Holyfield, Tyson or Lewis.

    If you list the best HW's of the last 30 years...

    Holmes
    Tyson
    Holyfield
    Bowe
    Lewis
    Moorer/Byrd
    V Klitschko
    W Klitschko

    ... then you have some of the best men in history.

    A super 8 tourney out of that line up! :bbb

    I have Lewis ahead of Tyson and Holy, behind Holmes who is behind Vitali who is behind Wladimir.

    Best HW OVERALL from 81-2011=Wladimir KlitschKO.
