Greatest heavyweight h2h

Ali, Tyson, Lewis, Foreman, Holmes...........................Vitali

 

Holmes, Lewis, Ali.

 

Tyson or Lewis

 

Holmes Ali Foreman

 

Ali, Tyson, Holmes, and Lewis. Perhaps Liston as well.

 

Prime Riddick Bowe

Yeah, I said it!!!

 

I agree with this, although I'd switch either Holmes or Liston with Louis.

 

I know...I know.

But, Im not talking greatest HW (Ali in my eyes). Im not talking most dominant HW (Tyson in my eyes)....etc. Im talking H2H...

And in all honesty, Im not a Riddick Bowe fan at all...he was the biggest waste of talent EVER. But my god was he talented.

 

I wouldn't include Tyson based on his mental strength, or lack of it shall I add. People are throwing him in based on his prime years when he got his own way and dispatched his opponents with distinction. Thats a plus of course, but also a minus when he's pitted against the likes of Ali, Lewis, Holmes, Foreman, etc. He failed when dropped any point in career and his prime was short lived. Also as his career progressed we probably seen how he would have reacted had he been faced with the same adversity in his prime. When the right tactics were applied and his opponents had heart and belief he folded most of the time. Biggs and Tucker were good heavyweights that negated Tyson somewhat, but they aint ATG heavyweights. Tyson at the end of the day was limited as he wasn't particularly great at long range and movement bothered him at times against Tucker for example. When in his prime nobody sustained anything serious upon him, apart from a few rounds during fights.

Tyson rates pretty highly H2H, but not top tier IMO.

 

Lewis

 

Tyson, Ali or Louis. Ali if I had to pick one I guess.

 

I'd go with a prime Ali, but prime Tyson's close. Honorable mentions for prime Louis and Liston.
