    Lol wow 2 guys who actually think Holyfield would be the great boxing God Rocky Marciano? Amazing.

    Anyway Lewis would win the first.

    If Ali struggled against Frazier he would against Tyson. Frazier clearly had more heart and determination but Tyson was clearly the harder puncher and had faster hands.

    Holyfield would clearly win the 3rd.

    Also Wlad only weighed 220 before the PED's so he isn't really much bigger in terms of weight than Tyson.

    Also Jack Johnson was under 200 pounds I believe most of his career and so was Joe Louis. Holyfield with PED's was over 205 pounds as a heavyweight so your list is a little warped.

    Glass chin Wlad would beat Bowe or Lewis? Maybe in a foot race but not in a boxing match.

    Bowe was too easy to hit and Lewis got starched twice. Wlad is more mobile and athletic with a superior jab. Trust me Emmanuel steward wanted nothing to do with wlad for Lewis. Could lewis or Bowe win sure nothing is absolute but I'll stick with wlad.

    And Wlad was starched 3 times so your point is? The same Wlad who got knocked out in 2 rounds by nobody Corrie Sanders could beat Lewis or Bowe? Funny stuff.

    And Wlad has a superior Jab? Clearly a Klitschko fan boy so you get put on the ignore list. Bye bye.

    Corrie sanders was a powerful punching southpaw and wlad was still getting up in that fight. His other two losses were due to exhaustion they were not starches. Learn the diffrence. Nice way to run when someone disagrees with you. It's an opinion forum. Bowe was out jabbed by golota and was hit so much he was brain damaged and retired by 29. Lewis was great champion and I don't knock him. I just choose wlad I think he is a bad matchup for Lennox. Wlad seems to get sold short on these forums as most current champions always do, but a 10 year unbeaten, untied streak against a divisions best is not easy to do in fact it's quite an accomplishment. So wlad has one more loss than Lewis so what he also has 20 more wins. This said prime vs prime not worst defeat against worst defeat the wlad of 2009 is not the same guy that lost too sanders just like the Lennox of 1999 isn't the one that lost to McCall
