    Organise these five heavyweights into a list, best first, worst last.

    196 and Asterion, this is how I have it too. Maybe some concensus will be possible on this one.

    Sorry Gabby, your love of Hollyfield is showing.

    1.Lewis (There can be no dipsute about this guy being number 1)

    2.Wlad Klitschko (is still greatness in the making)

    3.Mike Tyson (was a mental midget, indisciplined, but still achieved more in the ring than the two below)

    4.Vitali Klitschko (injuries from kick boxing killed a possibly great career, still champion though)

    5.Evander Holyfield (The most horribly over-rated career of a boxer of all time. Knocked out by James "KFC" Toney a former middleweight. Numerous bad performances and losses litter his record. As game as they come though.)

    Head to head, at their peaks:

    Lewis
    Tyson
    Holyfield
    Wladimir
    Vitali

    However, that's not the end of it. For instance, i'd pick Holyfield to beat Tyson prime for prime despite Tyson being ranked higher, and i wouldn't be surprised if Wlad beat Holyfield (see the Lewis fights), styles...

    Tyson
    Vitali
    Wlad

    Easy really, i dont see why Wlad or Vitali should be above any of those 3.
