    Which of these 90`s heavyweights would crack the top 10 if they were fighting now at the same age they were when they faced Lewis?
    Hollyfield, Tyson, Vitali, Tua, Mercer, Golota, Briggs, Bruno,Rahman, Morrison, Grant, Tucker, Botha and Ruddock.

    12 out of 14 could make the top 10 today, however with only 10 spots, the 1990's crew would be competing with themselves.

    I'll say Fury, Wilder and Joshua would be in the top ten but not all champions, leaving 7 open spots for Holyfield, Tyson Vitali, and Rahman, and three more. I keep Ruiz Jr, and add Mercer and Morrison.

    all of them.

    Simple. You have 4 different boxing organizations. rankings 1-10. So all it will take is just one organization to rank a guy, not all 4.

    I am sure that all of them would have been in the Ring top ten at some point.
