    He doesn't match well against the all-time Top 10 for me and that's that. The next time there's a 190Ib heavyweight that dominates the division give me a call. :good

    True. The real issue I would have is your inclusion of Lewis over Holyfield. Holyfield was never taken out early by ordinary contenders, and he actually fought the best guys of the era when they were still viable threats.

    Still, as big a fan as I am of Baer - he's my favorite HW from the early 20th century - his inclusion in the top 16 is questionable.

    Lewis beat Hollyfield twice. One was a bad draw :-(

    I don't have any tops list set in stone, especially after top ten, basically people are always moving up and down, last night I was in a Baer kind of mood, so I featured him. This isn't supposed to be the best representation of my top 16 heavyweights.

    Yeah, he was in the final, Head to Head I think he stacks up very well with his combination of speed, skill and power. As for him being 190 pounds, he actually fought better against bigger, modern sized heavy's. I'm going to leave it at that, because I don't want this to turn into a big discussion on the merits of Dempsey.

    Well, you see, it's a fantasy tournament, so you can't rightly put it in terms or true or false. Unless you're a total ****ing douche nozzle, anyway.

    So that's a little different than what people routinely put forth as top ten lists. In that case, my remarks are not really applicable. It is more with the "Lewis is better than Holyfield and there is no debate about it" types that I have issue. To quote a famous comediene - "never mind."

    Incidentally, I actually think a prime, prepared Baer would perform quite well in head to head tournaments like this, far better than his relative "ATG" rating might indicate.
