    That never happened ? ( HW)

    Using your own idea of peak v peak , who wins ?
    Just your answers , no monologue required as im sure they've all been debated individually before.

    Marciano v Liston
    Tyson v Ali
    Bowe v Lewis
    Foreman v Holmes

    My take
    Marciano
    Ali
    Lewis
    Holmes

    Good fights! Although I do think Bowe at his best outboxes Lewis and possibly stops him late. I think he sticks to Lewis like glue on the inside and out works him there.

    And young Tyson batters Ali a tad better than prime Frazier did with a couple knockdowns to a UD.

    Prime against prime I gotta agree with Holmes v.s Foreman. But 2nd career George would KO 2nd career Holmes in my opinion. He became a smarter, better boxer. Crazy how his chin improved to!
