    Mitch Green vs Leon Spinks, that one I'd quite like.

    Two come-forward pebbledasher types. Could be fun.

    I'd think I'd take Neon Leon to beat Green actually, he was a better amateur and although this doesn't always hold tru in the pro ranks I think he was the better fighter of the two anyway.

    Dokes at his rare best beats both of 'em, however. Coetzee too.

    Leon would win if he stays busy, otherwise Green wins. Dokes beats Green based on his experience, for the speed difference isn't that much between them, if any.

    If Neon Leon has been enjoying the nightlife a bit too much then Green's got a better chance...

    Tucker, Thomas,Tubbs, and even 38 yr. old Holmes were all better boxers than Lewis. Tyson destroys him. And Hoylfield would of gotten his body beat up bad by a prime Tyson(who was a good body puncher and good combination puncher) and eventually stopped in the later rounds. Most of Holyfield's knockout loses came form body attacks and Tyson would gotten him that way. 1990 and up(Tyson from the Rudduck fights) before he goes to jail, Tyson still wins because of his youth, speed, and power and Holyfields lack of size. The 1996 Holyfield was a much bigger and physically stronger man(due to the fact his body had gotten use the heanyweight division from the amount of yrs. at that point he was in the heavyweight division and added muscle mass he put on) to take Tyson's punches and if Tyson doesn't bite Holyfield, he could of won that fight. The momentim was with mike in the 3rd round before the bite. Prime Tyson stops 96 holyfield.(which is the best holyfield you can match up with Tyson since he was a better technician by this point)

    Lennox would beat Mitch on points, can't see him hurting Mitch.Igor Vysotsky couldn't do it, Page and Tubbs couldn't, not even Tyson and Jumbo Cummings.

    Mitch Green is the man but was he ever even ranked in the top ten? :lol:

    Serious question.

    Personally I think that Lewis,especially after he linked up with Manny Steward,would have thrashed Green,who was nothing more than a spoiler.

    Green would wrap Lewis up in a cocoon of horror and geri curl juice.

    You should listen to the man who has sparring experience in a number of top heavyweight names. It is unlikely to yourself ..

    Lennox Lewis beat green easily
