    Say these 4 fought each other in a series of fights...

    Who would pick up the best win/loss ratio?

    Who the hell woudl pick Lennox Lewis.



    Just by the way, Valuev would actually do well against most Heavyweights just because of his size. Marciano wouldn't beat him, that's for sure.

    My predictions:

    Liston 1-2 (beats Frazier, loses to Holmes and Lewis)
    Frazier 1-1-1 (beats Lewis, draws Holmes)
    Lewis 2-1 (beats Liston and Holmes)
    Holmes 1-1-1 (beats liston)

    Oh yeah and just ignore that ****ing awful poll.

    Don't ask for opinions if you don't want to hear them! If you wanted pro Lewis rhetoric, I am sorry to disappoint! I personally (that means my opinion) don't believe Lewis matches up well here.

    I don't think he beats Frazier....Frazier gets sold short on here alot as far as H2H match-ups go, and I am a strong supporter of frazier as far as h2H goes. The only boxers I favor over Frazier are Foreman and Liston)

    I think Liston is too much for Lewis to deal with. I think Lewis gives him a good fight, but ultimately Liston catches up with him and ends it in 8.

    Holmes and Lewis I see as the best match up and find it to be very close between them ultra competitive and down to the wire. I feel Holmes would edge a close perhaps even SD/MD type verdict, but give him the edge by a hair.

    Just because I think that Lewis falls short against 3 top 10 ATG's (5,7,8 on my list), does not mean I don't think he is great..I just don't think he takes one in this series!!!!

    Lewis wouldve decapitated Frazier with that uppercut. I also see Frazier having a hard time being able do do anything really. Lewis wouldve man handled him every time Frazier would get inside and then the ref would break it and Lewis would contiue to dominate with jabs and right hands.
    I don't really see it any other way. He's just at such a huge disatvantage here. Frazier would be game but he would just be way to prone to getting caught with a right uppercut. Honestly how can you see Frazier winning that? Every time he Would get inside Lewis could always just hold him and Frazier would be useless.

    The other two I pretty much agree with, but holmes' tendency to get caught with right hands would be a big issue against Lewis.

    Chill dude, you raise some good points and I totally see where your coming from...

    Thats why I chose these 4 guys really, they are so close when it comes to intangibles and ATG status that I dont think there is necessarily any wrong answer.

    Hard to say. I don't think anyone is going 4-0. I would say Lewis would be the most likely to win three times.
