    This is a well put argument.

    Bump because it’s an interesting thread, obviously he was more effective at Crusierweight, but he will have got better in skills when he moved up as he gained more experience. At heavyweight there are 3 points which could’ve been his prime, it could’ve been from the Tyson fights through to the Lewis draw, it could’ve been the Bowe rematch or the Douglas win through to the Bowe 1 loss, I feel out of any particular fight though, it was the Tyson 1 fight, he was the most motivated for that fight, fought the perfect game plan and had experience and wasn’t past it physically.

    All 3 are accurate - his prime extended from the 2nd Qawi to 2nd Bowe fights IMO.
