    I personally wouldn't include the Golota fights as Bowe got battered in both fights and ended up the winner by laying on the canvas both times.

    I'll do my list tomorrow though.

    He got the win but Golota but was lighting him up in both fights.I find it hard to put them on his list of best wins. I’ll second @Jakub79 list

    1. Holyfield 1
    2. Holyfield 3
    3. Hide
    4. Donald
    5. Tubbs
    6. Dokes
    7. Seldon
    8. Biggs
    9. Thomas
    10. Gonzalez

    I watched the Tubbs fight awhile ago and I had Bowe winning 6-4 whilst it was close I thought Bowe legitimately won it. So I'm still rating it quite highly as Tubbs was in good form vs Bowe and that was a good test for a young Bowe.

    Thomas is a better name than Biggs but I felt like Biggs had more left in the tank than Thomas he actually put up a good fight vs Bowe.

    Cooper could be included instead of Gonzalez but Gonzalez was a very successful Amateur and had beaten Bowe in the Amateurs so it was a real grudge match so I feel like it has to be included.
