    Young
    Lyle
    Valuev
    Tyson
    Wlad
    Lewis, but 50/50 really

    Agit may get close to wlad, but need more evidence. Byrd is skilled, so not confident there

    Young in a terrible fight

    Lyle. Better chin

    Valuev

    Ibeabuchi for the upset. Strong and tough enough to execute a Holyfield like gameplay, but he hits harder and is stronger physically than Holy was.

    Klitschko UD. Maybe late stoppage. Clinch fest for most of the fight.

    Holmes SD. Too fast

    - Byrd vs Young is the most 50/50 fight here IMO. Draw would be possible

    - Lyle by brutal KO

    - Carnera by decision in a super ugly fight

    - Tyson by comfortable decision

    - Wlad by KO (Agit just wouldn't be able to close the distance)

    - Holmes by late stoppage

    Byrd majority decision
    Lyle KO
    Carnera UD
    Tyson UD in a war, think Tyson-Ruddock. Would love to see it
    Wlad KO
    Holmes-Lewis.......how many rounds we talking? 12 or 15? I'll go with Holmes by close decision
