    Klittards..............you do know there are fight fans who happen to acknowledge the complete domination of the K2, but also know that Lewis is likely the GOAT in 20 yrs time.

    Boxing has evolved and modern fighters who thoroughly dominate yesteryears fighters, specifically in the higher weight classes.

    There is no doubt that Lewis is the best fighter in this era. No doubt. However, IMO, there is no doubt he is the GOAT already, and even if I like the K2 more than I like Lewis, I have to acknowledge he would beat either of them more often than he would lose. :nono

    Holmes and Lewis.

    Those picking Tyson are hopeless romantics, I prefer him to both Lewis and Holmes in terms of watching him destroy his opposition between 1986 to 1990 with ease but his record simply does not compare to those two in terms of quality of opposition beat.

    Good Choices, Wlad is definitely up there.

    He might even surpass Lennox if the quality of opposition is there.

    cant understand people voting tyson over holmes.

    Guess it depends on how you view title reigns. Tyson made history with such impact but reigned comparatively briefly. But Holmes made a kind of history too!

    If this were a game of football, then Tysons career would be an explosive multiple goal first half followed by a collapse in the 2nd half, whereas Holmes would win the game with a hard fought, unexciting 1-0 draw.

    You have to put Holmes on top for that, even if hes not so exciting.

    The polls do reflect overall intelligence though.

    Lewis probably got a bit too many, but overall the top 5 should be
    Lewis Tyson Holmes Evander and Wladimir. And the poll results reflect that perfectly.

    Now if somehow ****ing Michael Spinks is leading the polls, then we know something's up.
