    As for who would win the most fights in a round robin between them ...

    Wlad and Fury about tied. Fury probably beats him in their prime, but it's more of a 50/50 due to Wlad's power.
    Lewis
    Tyson
    Ali

    Fury could beat all, Wlad could beat all. But none of the others would beat all.
    Ali is the most overrated political agenda ever known. He got beat up by non-HW Frazier, don't even compare him to Wlad and Fury.
    Lewis has no chin and was very sloppy.
    Tyson had nothing much if the fight went too long and was proven to be mentally weak.

    I never understood this notion. The two shots he was caught with were perfectly placed and would have put anyone on the canvas. When you get caught on the chin that way, it doesn't matter who you are and how much you weigh, you go down. Plus Lewis beat the count against McCall - it was a very controversial stoppage to say the least.

    In any case, Lewis showed immense durability against the likes of Mercer, Klitschko or Morrison who was a notably big puncher. Someone with "no chin" would not have survived facing these guys let alone beating them.

    There was literally zero controversy in his stoppage against McCall - he was staggering all over the ring following getting up. And I strongly disagree on the argument that McCall's and Rahman's shots would drop anybody. McCall landed everything and kitchen sink in round 9 against 45-y.o. Larry Holmes and Larry never went down. Rahman landed the same punch against old Holyfield (in round 5 if I remember correctly) and Evander didn't even blink.

    Saying that, I don't think Lennox had a glass jaw. Questionable for a top HW? Yes, but not glass (like Szpilka, Price or Michael Grant)

    Very good list almost like my own. Prime Wlad vs Fury would have been closer but i still think Fury would have edged him out despite one or two knockdowns.

    Yeah I was going to say h2h I might switch top 2, but Ali going 15 rounds with beasts can't be overlooked

    It's embarrassing to put fury with these guys. If he fights Usyk I may change that view, but these guys were actually REAL fighting men
