    How can you possibly not understand the question?

    Option 1 is lagging way behind, Option 2 is fantastic with Lewis, Tyson and Holyfield who'd all make a top 15 of heavies, but Option 3 is the best. Ali the greatest heavy of all-time, Frazier arguably top 10, Foreman and Liston possibly but defo top 15. Norton is very, very good aswell.

    Lewis-Tyson-Bowe-Holyfield-Mercer or Ali-Frasier-Foreman-Norton-Liston, but def not Wlad-Vitali-Haye-Valuev-Chageav. Not by a long-shot.

    Group 2 is the weakest.Hollyfield struggled with all times great like Bobby Cyzz.Bowe was totally overrated in his prime and got beaten twice by a Polish thug.
    Mercer has never been a great number at the pros in the first place.
    Tyson feeded on weak comp for the greatest part of his career.
    Without any doubt Lennox is the outstanding fighter of this group.He can hold his own against any fighter of any era.

    Why are you even including Haye? the guy has had 2 fights at Heavyweight against mediocre opposistion.

    To answer you question I believe the 1950's and early 1980's era was worse than this one.

    :good

    I could give two answers. One; I'm preempting his reign as Undisputed HW Champ, and Two; he is one of the biggest names currently fighting in the HW divsion, and therfeore deserves inclusion on that basis alone.

    Based on his achivements at Crusierweight and the calibre of fighter those achivements suggest him to be. I'm not saying it's correct, but you can't deny that Haye is one of the biggest names in the division, hence his inclusion.

    Someone mentioned on another thread that Wlad and Co. were way better than the 90's HW's. I thought that wasn't true, and wanted to hear what others thought. I wasn't fishing for "Wlad and Co are ****!" remarks, honest :yep

    Option three by a light year. Option two is in second place, and option one is the worst since Carnera-Bear-Braddock.
