    Who were they in your opinion?

    On paper, Vitali has to be on there. There's still an asterisk over the cut stoppage.

    How did you score Holyfield II?

    Holyfield I we all know he was robbed
    Bruno he was loosing on the cards and managed to stop Frank.
    David Tua he was a monster puncher he would easily be the best Heavyweight outside of Wladimir if he was in his prime today.

    Holyfield 1 if it had been scored correctly would have been his best win. He utterly dominated Holyfield like nobody had done before. I only gave Evander 3 rounds. I had Lewis clearly winning the rematch 7 rounds to 5, while it was closer I can't see how you could score it for Holyfield.

    early round blowouts of Ruddock, Golota and Grant deserve a mention.

    Tyson was pretty shot ofcourse, but it was still an impressively dominant performance.

    Vitali Klitschko, even with the ???? marks is BY FAR his greatest win.

    And having wins over 3 Top 15 ATGs gives me reason to rank Lennox as #1 ATG at HW.

    Imagine if he'd have gotten Holmes and Foreman as well. Toss in Bowe a top 50......dayum.....he'd be #1 GOAT for all time. Intuocable'

    Best wins? I'd say Vitali is his best win, followed by Holyfield. After that you have Mercer, Briggs, Tyson and Tua. I'd say McCall, Rahman and Bruno are probably the tier below that, followed by Grant, Botha, Ruddock, Tucker and Akinwande.

    Vitali is clearly Lennox' best win, not the prettiest one but a legit HOF and top 30 ATG stopped in his prime.

    The win over Tua was probably Lennox' best strategic performance. Again, not pretty to watch. But a great performance.

    given their comparative resumes, holyfield and Tyson and tua.

    why? because holyfield's incredible resume and being close to prime and being good contests.
    2nd Tyson, faded but not yet jaded.
    3rd tua and vitali tied. tua for his good resume and vitali due to his future moderate but elongated success.
    4th ruddock

    Vitali.

    In terms of h2h heavys (excluding resume) I'd say vitali is top ten at least, probably top 5 in all honesty, so for Lennox to stop him while vitali was in his prime is a brilliant win
