Outside of those heavyweights a lot of us rate highly (Tyson, Lewis, Holy, Bowe, Klitschkos), who are the top 3 next best heavyweights of the last 30 years (since Holmes)? I'll be honest, I'm being selfish... Got a rare day off work on Monday, and I really want to watch some heavies. Thanks in advance.
Old Foreman, Douglas, Moorer, Povetkin, Ruddock, Tua can be ranked highly. Many will question Douglas, but he has the best single win of all mentioned fighters.
Other than the usual suspects at the top such as Tyson, Lewis Holyfield, etc, it's hard to place who were the best of the rest as it all comes down to your own opinion so I will stick with a list of some of the most exciting heavyweights of the last few decades with the likes of Razor Ruddock, Corrie Sanders, Bert Cooper, Michael Moorer in his early heavyweight days, Tommy Morrison, Ike Ibeabuchi, David Tua, David Haye (outside of the Wlad matchup) and even currently Anthony Joshua.
