    why don't you pick your own matchups. Holmes vs Vitali, Lennox, and Bowe
    would all be interesting.

    If Riddick Bowe had fought Lennox Lewis in 1993 like he was supposed to I'd give it 50/50 odds. If they met anytime after about 1995, Lewis wins emphatically. Of all the men listed, I'd favor Holmes to beat them all, but some of them would be close fights.

    Larry Holmes beats them all for me,he was a better all round boxer,unlike the Klitchkos who fought only as they needed,to to survive and win on points.Riddick Bowe in his prime is the most dangerous.

    How many rounds? In a round robin format it would be tough for anyone to go 3-0.

    Best guess is Bowe would be 1-2, or 0-3

    1-Holmes.

    2-Lewis.

    3-Vitali Klitchko

    4-B0we..


    if Wlad klitchko were in the poll, i would put him 3 ahead of his brother, and Bowe....

    I just think Wladimir had a better career than Vitali...:deal

    Both prime Klitsxhkos lose to everyone mentioned in their primes
    Lennox beats Bowe as well
    Holmes beats everyone

    Bowe beats Lenox, Klitchkos, Holmes may outjab Bowe, but his
    vulnerability to a counter right worries me.
    I get what you mean now Id bet on Bowe or Holmes to win
    a tournament as both can outjab opponents and in Bowe's
    case out brawl.

    would be all interesting match ups but I tottaly with "hookfromhell" I feel bowe had a lot of underrated skills that would trouble homes , lennox lewis has alwas struggled on the back foot and would loose easly to holmes and bowe under pressure , I feel vitali could cause a upset tho

    and I put vitali in instead of wlad cause I feel he is more aggressive to this mix and would be more interesting match ups
