    If Uysk can just retire winning his next last couple fights I could choose him honestly. Doesn't mean he would beat everyone but he appears to have a great balance of everything and might just have the best all round record.

    And it stands to question if he would have been even better if he came to heavyweight earlier. He came in at 32-38 and after possibly 350 amateur fights and cleaning out another division and moving up in weight.

    Wlad would win literally almost round of every fight for years and years on end that kind of dominance is insane but his chin was never very good apart from like against AJ funny enough in his last fight so idk what if some ATG's who punches like a mule as well like Foreman and Tyson say can land on it.

    That was convincing, just read the TKO6 thread. The rematch duck isn't a good look for Lennox.

    I'd say Holyfield & Tunney. Gene is still massively overlooked.. the guy was a brilliant fighter well ahead of his time. Those are the two that instantly spring to my mind when thinking best H2H HWs ever.. they'd have the skill to tackle the SHWs & the grit to grind it out versus the sluggers & brawlers..

    I would say most likely these are the top h2h that should beat everyone else..

    1- Lewis (50/50 with Usyk, Ali, Holmes, beats the rest)
    2- Usyk (loses to Tyson, 50/50 with Lewis, Ali, Holmes)
    3- Ali (beats Holmes, 50/50 with Lewis, Usyk, Tyson)
    4- Tyson (beats Holmes,Usyk & Bowe, loses to Foreman, Fury & Vitali, 50/50 with Ali)
    5- Holmes
    6- Fury
    7- Bowe
    8- Vitali
    9- Foreman
    10- Wlad

    A top 5 HTH list, and it doesn’t include ‘66-‘67 Ali? Yeah I cannot get on board with that. Ali was looking inhuman during that run. Lightning quick hands and feet, exceptional reflexes, limitless stamina, with real solid power. That Ali is #1 H2H, imo. Prime Tyson is #2.

    Too many remember 70s Ali and forget what he actually was like in his prime — and that he used to be a pretty hard hitter. Hand problems stopped him from throwing with full power as he got older, but before that? Watch how opponents react to being hit by him.

    What a pathetic list from a cuck poster:risas3::risas3:

    Putting Mike Tyson number ONE WTF!:risas3::risas3: Jesus that's something you'd expect from a casual who'd only seen highlights of Tysons KO's

    96% of posters say Hell No. This thread has been an epic fail. LOL

    These casuals need to see 60's Ali fights. A 6'3", 215lb dude who floated, had RJJ level reflexes, had the fastest hands in the division, and seemed to be about a 7 / 10 on the power scale. Casuals, check out Ali's fights in 66-67. Tell me, who touches that guy? THAT is why he's called the greatest.

    I have yet to see a HW who would have a chance against the Ali who faced off against Cleveland Williams. Mike Tyson? Ok, sure, have fun closing on a guy with twice your foot speed who can throw damaging right hands while moving backwards.

    H2H Tyson is behind both Lewis, and Holyfield who beat him. He'd also be behind Joe Louis, Muhammad Ali, Larry Holmes, and the Klitschko bros.
