Best heavyweights of the last 28 years!

wheres ali?

 

Bowe was not the superior fighter :nono Wladimir has already achieved more than Bowe because Klitschko unified 2 belts, Bowe had a lot to do with why they're separated in the first place.

 

That's a decent list but I'd put Lewis above Holmes based on successful defenses against stronger competition.

 

Ignorance is bliss.

 

Bowe has the better resume, and was the undisputed champ. The vast majority of people favour Bowe in a head to head matchup as well. Far greater fighter than Wladimir is.

 

Bowe was destroyed twice by nutcase Golota. Nuff said.

 

History will remember Bowe largely by his exciting trilogy vs. Evander Holyfield, his refusal to fight Lennox Lewis & how easily Golota smacked him around. Golota later went on to be destroyed by Lennox Lewis if you don't remember. I do. :deal

 

Start a poll on the subject then! You should include achievements as well as head to head. Probably need 2 separate polls..................

 

1) Lewis
2) Prime Tyson
3) Holmes

A couple guys who could mess things up for people, the Golata who fought Bowe and Ray Mercer.

 

How anyone can say that they would rather fight a prime Tyson than Lennox is beyond me...

For me, at their primes:
1. Tyson
2. Holmes
3. Holyfield

 

Wlad was destroyed by old Golfer Sanders. Far more embarrasing. Golota was a great fighter in his day, nutcase yes, but a very good fighter. Plus Bowe was shot at that point.

And Bowe never got beat by Puritty and Brewster either.

 

1. Lennox Lewis
2. Larry Holmes
3. Evander Holyfield
4. Mike Tyson

5. Riddick Bowe
6. Wladimir Klitschko
7. Tim Witherspoon
8. Chris Byrd
9. Vitali Klitschko
10. Tony Tucker

 

Good list

 

1.Mike Tyson(late 80's)
2.Lennox Lewis(late 90's)
3.Larry Holms(early 80's)
4.Evander Holyfield(late 90's)
5.Riddick Bowe (late 80's)
6.Vitali Klitschko(early 00's)

Honorable Mention
-George Foreman (mid 90's)
(Because of hit strength, especially for an 45 year old)

-Tommy Morrison (early-mid 90's)
(Because of his devastating left hook and win against Foreman)

 

If I'm going by the criteria that the thread-starter wants us to use, the person I'd least want to face is a prime Mike Tyson.
