    Indeed.
    But i included Moorer and Byrd because they were both titlists. Not a WBO one like Mercer.
    But Ray would be a great addition to said tournament.

    These threads are fun to read. For nothing less than finding out who is mentally ill enough to think Bowe would have beaten the Klitschko's or should be rated higher historically or whatever antiquated premise this latest incarnation is based upon.

    Lewis head to head

    Tyson for being the most electric performer

    Who else would you say really?

    "THIS" version of Wladmir barely scraped past a former CW and very ovverated David Haye.

    Lennox and Holmes would take Wladmir to school
    Tyson would KO Wladmir
    Bowe would beat the **** out of him as would Holyfield
    Hell Golota would probably beat him too.

    Bowes wins over Holyfield are better than anything Vitali ever did.

    Lewis and Klits belong on that ballot, especially if Holmes and Tyson are there. I'd probably pick Lewis over Holy

    Don't feel bad, Holyfield was a great fighter. That's what boxing and being a fan is all about.

    Kevin McBride, destroyed Tyson and ducked by Holyfield, Holmes wouldn't carry his jockstrap.
