    If 80% of Tysons legacy is built on make believe then 150% of Bowes is!!!

    I rather not rate Wladimir as I honestly don't know where he stands h2h, but I am more than confident he would blast prime Riddick Bowe out the water. Let Wladimirs career play out and then I'll happily rate him.

    As for the others, there are two at the top that are virtually interchangable:

    Lewis
    Holmes

    Holyfield
    Tyson
    Bowe

    Bowe stylistically likes the Holy matchup, perhaps even a Tyson matchup although I do believe Tyson beats him, and beats him good in their respective primes. Holy has a greater shot at beating the likes of Lewis/Holmes, and most definitely has the greater chance at beating Mike.

    The Mythical beast that is Mike Tyson would get splattered by Lennox Lewis every time out, and that's the cold hard truth. Unless Lewis rates him along the likes of McCall and Rahman, there is little to no chance Mike beats him.

    Still, a fairly good fight in their prime. Lewis had all the tools to beat him.

    Bowe beat Holy 2 out of 3 fights. And these are not fluke fights with 30 second KO's.

    Bowe will always be ahead of Holyfield, as Holy will always be ahead of Tyson.

    fluke fights with 30 second KO's? Are you honestly referring to Lewis win over Golatta?! :lol:

    This is h2h ranking, it does not necessarily mean "fighter a beat b, and b beat c so A is better than C". How well does Bowe fair with Lewis/Holmes compared to Bowe?

    Excellent list.

    Out of the six mentioned, Lewis & Holmes stand out remarkably.

    I was referring to a fluke fight, as opposed to a full blown fight that goes many rounds in head to head combat to determine the better fighter.

    1. Holmes, Lewis
    2.
    3. Bowe
    4. Wlad
    5. Holy
    6. Tyson

    Let me guess, Tubbs must also rate higher than Mike, given the fact that he arguably beat Bowe on points in the midst of Riddicks prime. Right? :roll:

    Holmes, Holyfield, Tyson, Lewis, Bowe, Vlad! Holmes champ for 7 years and 20 title defenses is why he should be number here.
