    Allowing your sentence #2 as the standard for this, I'd enter the name of Evander Holyfield into the argument.

    Tyson, Liston, Lewis, Vitali - are the most likely to come out on top.
    Ali, Holyfield and Fury come next.

    Think Ali Lewis Liston Marciano Foreman Louis Tyson Holmes make it to round 2
    Can’t really call the other fights depends who fights who.
