    Thanks for the well reasoned response. That clears matters up somewhat.

    Re: Bert Sugar; I'm sure he's probably a better analyst than I am. I don't have the time nor the resources to devote to it, nor have I been around as long. However, i don't always agree with him.

    Re: facts. I only meant it was a fact that Lewis triumphed in the Olympics and that Bowe threw away the belt rather than defend it against Lewis.

    As to how such a fight would have turned out, my OPINION was that Lennox would have prevailed, but that part is not a fact.

    Lennox reached prime 1998/99 and was prime till mid 2003. During that period, I have him top 5 head-to-head all time.

    Once again, thank you for a clear and reasonable response.

    Regards.

    Holyfield should face Wlad (but he would be killed).

    The point should be whether or not the IBF would "release" Wlad from (t)his actionless captivity so that he could make a voluntary defense of the same against a WBO heavyweight titlist if Holyfield is to come out successful of his next fight assignement. I don't believe so because the IBF refused to sanction such a bout before and was the main reason Wlad refused a 20 million dollars proposal from M. Muhammad, and the IBF tournament winner is supposed to face Wlad and not whoever wins the title in the mean time - remember that the IBF made that deal with Wlad's, Povetkin's, Byrd's and Brock's handlers... Good news would be that Holy doesn't get "killed";)

    If Holyfield wins, they'll start going backwards starting with Briggs.

    I`d like to see that fight but im positive its not happening. Holyfield will unify if he gets the belt, hes done it before and he has the money and political pull to make it happen again.
