    Lennox Lewis with laughable ease.

    In seriousness H2H I'd pick

    Lewis, then Bowe, then Wlad, then Wilder,

    Yep be surprised if Lewis had come below top spot .His biggest threat IMO would be Bowe ,from his title winning year .Then its a slightly close thing between Bowe and Wlad but Klitschko's still getting kod .Could Wilder cause a ko win over wlad?That's not totally out of the question. Its happened before ,but I'll go with Wilder bottom of the list .

    Lewis to win this clearly. The order would likely pan out as:-

    1. Lewis
    2. Wladimir Klitschko
    3. Bowe
    4. Wilder

    Since this is a tournament:

    Bowe beats Lewis
    Wilder Beats Wlad

    Bowe beats Wilder

    But in ranking them
    Lewis
    Wlad

    Bowe




    Wilder

    Interesting that Philly,my own tournament plays out

    Lewis v Wlad -Lewis kos him in 5 .
    Bowe v Wilder - Bowe has to pick himself up to score a Savage ko round 10.

    Bowe v Lewis -Lewis caught early and almost goes down from a thumping right hand ,but he sees out the round .Lennox look's to be out of sorts against Big Daddy and seems to be getting hit far to easily .But like a bolt from the blue ,Lewis throws a left hook that puts Riddick down hard .He gets up but Lewis is in killing mode ,and Bowe is dropped twice morevl.Game over .Lewis kos Bowe rd 7.

    I picked them in the order you wrote them in the OP

    In your scenario I would still have Bowe

    Lewis beats Wlad
    Bowe beats Wilder

    Bowe beats Lewis (but I have always favored Bowe 60/40 even years ago)

    Yep Of most of the big heavy s in recent years ,its Bowe that could present a prime Lenny with most problems .The Bowe from Holyfield 1 is a hard guy to beat .A determined Fully fit Riddick .

    A shame that they (largely Bowe IMO) couldn’t work things out. One of the fights I regret not happening the most.

    Yeah right now I see AJ as a modern day Bowe. I think he would beat Fury and Wilder, but I don’t like the approach his team has in making fights or rather not making them

    I agree ,its not doing him any favour s. You know ,at least Fury and Wilder actually got it on .Those three are the biggest name's now in heavyweight boxing for a long time and they all need to be facing each other .
