    Lennox Lewis
    Evander Holyfield
    Mike Tyson
    Riddick Bowe

    I dont see how anyone could have anything but Lewis at number 1 for HW. Although i do agree if it is P4P Holy has to be higher.

    This is difficult. Tyson's prime was so great and so short. But if we are talking primes and p4p and not size? Difficult
    If you had them all the same size I think Evander is the best fighter. So the same size I put it
    Evander Holyfield
    Mike Tyson
    Lennox Lewis
    Riddick Bowe


    as for dominance and careers and who would win head to head?
    Lennox Lewis
    Mike Tyson
    Evander Holyfield
    Riddick Bowe

    1. Lennox Lewis. If it were not for his two loses and draw. All avenged he could be the #1 heavyweight of all time. He is not unbeatable but he is my #1 H2H heavyweight of all time.

    2. Mike Tyson. Unified the heavyweight championship. Was next to unbeatable in his prime.

    3. Riddick Bowe. From 92-95 there may not be a heavyweight who could beat him in a prime for prime match up. He suffered from poor management that had him defending against Dookes and Furgeson. rather than Lewis. This is in my opinion one of if not the biggest mistakes in boxing history. Bowe would have won a match with Lewis from 92-95 and possibly 96 as well.

    4. Evander Holyfield. He gets too much credit for his wins over Tyson.

    Heavyweight:
    1. Lewis
    2. Tyson
    3. Holyfield
    4. Bowe

    H2H:
    Tyson beats all, Lewis beats Bowe and Holyfield, Holyfield loses to Bowe

    Is there any reason to believe Bowe couldn't have made that fight happen had he wanted to ?

    Oh I'm sorry I meant to say to say they were the best wins in the history of boxing. Tyson was clearly at his very best.
    You have nothing good to contribute. Ever.
