    I'd have to favor either Ali, Holmes, or Lewis. Does that sound reasonable?

    This is no brainer, based on the resume and history you will always find Ali
    the best ever HW, no matter if H2H or in any other classification.

    You may dispute successfully whether Ali isn't the ATG#1 overall in
    all boxing classes but at HW there is no option, you like it or not.

    prime Ali would not gave any chances to prime Holmes,
    while Lewis chin will let him down at some point.

    88 Tyson was awesome. Also, Lewis when he fought Ruddock and Golota.
