I'm surprised JohnThomas would consider the Tyson-Lewis fight relevant. Tyson was very past it when he faced Lewis. I don't see how you can...
It's not clear to me why Lewis even fought Tyson. There were other heavyweights around that were more deserving of a title shot than Tyson.

Louis ranks far above Holyfield due to his greater accomplishments but i is certainly concievable that he could lose head to head. Athletes from...
Era's seem to generally look bad compared to the eras that follow them. Rating eras generally seems very subjective. How does one say whether an...
Also why would one conclude that Bowe was a bigger puncher than the guys Frazier fought aside from Foreman?
Using Cooper as an example does seem odd given that many heavyweights stopped Cooper. Bowe beating Cooper does not seem like a reason to pick him...
A Frazier fan could simply counter that Frazier would have been bigger and more powerful if he had been born in the 1960s rather than the 1940s...

A prime vs prime matchup would have been interesting.
