    1. Lennox Lewis
    2. Larry Holmes
    3. Mike Tyson
    4. Evander Holyfield
    5. Riddick Bowe
    6. Wladimir Klitschko

    Lewis and Holmes are pretty much interchangable. I prefer Tyson over Holyfield at their best.

    1.) Larry Holmes
    2.) Lennox Lewis
    3.) Evander Holyfield
    4.) Mike Tyson
    5.) Riddick Bowe
    6.) Wladimir Klitschko

    Although, I could also go with Lewis at number 1 and Holmes at 2. Basically interchangeable for me.
