    Did you watch the vid he said these guys were almost unbeatable, he was gushing about Holmes`s jab and stuff.

    Bowe got hit more than any of the other fighters on your list during his and their primes plus he ducked Lewis.

    Probably Tyson, I mean he's nearly a foot taller I'd be hard pressed to pick against him with such a size advantage.

    Holyfield would of beaten prime Tyson too and I'm more of a Tyson fan than a Holyfield fan.

    Tyson was a great fighter but he wasn't invincible. Plus I think a fighter's greatness should be rated based on a number of criteria including, longevity and who they beat etc, not just head to head ability where Tyson does rank higher than most. But even then as I said before I think Evander is still better in this regard.

    Tyson number two is laughable IMO. And as much as many on here won't like it h2h Lewis is probably the GOAT. The guy won every big fight he had and only lost when unmotivated and over confident which he wouldn't be against any ATG tier fighter in a mythical match up.

    Tunney`s biceps were to thin to keep Tyson off.
