    I mean, ¿who would beat Fury, Usyk, Wilder, Joshua, Ruiz, Frank Sanchez 100 percent for sure?

    I would say: prime Ali (64 67), prime Tyson (86 88), prime Lewis (1997 2001/2002) and prime Bowe (1991 1992).

    Prime Holmes (78 82) has a chance, with tough battles against Usyk and Fury. What do you think?

    None, maybe Lewis with the best chance- due to size, boxing ability, height and power.

    Agreed. I would remove the ? from Holmes' name and Lennox Lewis would be added.

    Good shout. But I do think an absolutely at his peak Bowe would have a chance.

    prime Holyfield, 88 Tyson would be the most fun to watch do it though as he would probably get at least 4 of them in the first round

    No one would or could "clean up" the current division as long as Usyk is active.
    Louis, Homes, Holyfield, Lewis would be competitive and even win majority of fights but would lose some as well. Any of them could get KTFO by Wilder if he got lucky.
