    I picked Lewis and Vitali. If VK and Wlad ever fought, big brother always wins.

    AMERIcan answer is Larry Holmes and Evander Holyfield

    The real answer is Vitali and Wladimir Klitschko who are the greatest of all time, and would both brutally KO a prime Ali inside 8 rounds.

    Lennox Lewis was a total package as well. I put Lewis and Vitali neck and neck. Wlad's chin is a little weaker than these two.

    Vitali quit against a former Middleweight.
    You are beyond dumb. Vitali was pretending he didn't know English after the fight against Byrd. He knew he quit, he knew he had no injuries.
    He was also caught using Peds prior to the Olympics and lied he thought it was juice.

    I study the heavyweights from Ali to Present day.
    It's a hobby of mine.

    I took a special interest in that Vitali Byrd fight because I was not sure for the longest time if Vitali quit because of an legit injury or if he was a coward.

    I have come to the conclusion that he was a coward.

    The biggest Vitali haters will still admit he showed heart against Lewis.

    **** that. I am not even willing to give him that much. He knew the doctors was gonna stop the fight.Trust me, if that fight had gone on another 1-2 rounds, Vitali would have started

    'Quit Job 2.0'
    The only reason I put Vitali on this list, is because I accidentally merged him into one person with his brother.
    Far more deserving heavyweights like fat Foreman, Moorer, Ike, Tua and Mercer should have taken his place.


    Before you say I'm wrong. Let me ask you this. Do you feel like you studied the Heavyweight Division as much as I did? Because I feel like you didn't.

    Great Results so far.

    Shows the intelligence of ESB.



    Also will like someone to tell me if a case can be made

    for Moorer and Tua over Whitherspoon and Spinks.

    Credibility takes a trip into outer space by the time you reach your second sentence.
    Holmes and Lewis are first,with Tyson,Holyfield,Vitali and Wlad battling it out just below.It's very subjective and if you're going to insist on quality of opponent,then Lewis and Holyfield would probably come out on top,but Holmes deserves top spot here just as K2 have done more than enough to warrant inclusion.
    Shame you get drivel that spoils what could be a very interesting discussion.

    Aren't you the guy who picks RJJ to lose to any and everyone? Congrats, I'd say you're officially the stupidest guy on ESB. You should get a trophy :happy

    No. I said Roy would have lost badly to big punchers. He would.
    Also

    What the **** does RJJ have anything to do with this thread?

    Why are you bringing a god damn Ped Using LIGHT HEAVY WEIGHT.

    Into a thread full of Heavyweight greats?


    You should thank the boxing Gods Roy Jones Jr was at least smart enough not to

    fight Lennox Lewis after Ruiz. Or Roy would have been the first ever fighter in the history
    of boxing to die from a jab.

    I voted for Holmes and Lewis. Wasn't that difficult either.
