    Holmes/Holy/LL

    Any of those is correct.

    Evander "Real Deal" Holyfield. Fought all the other top guys in his era when it mattered and was never sparked out early by second raters.

    Oh wait, I misread the rating asked for, it's a single fight ranking. Given this, here are the rankings:

    1. Tyson from the Spinks Fight
    2. Bowe from the Holyfield fight
    3. Holyfield from the Douglas fight
    4. Holmes from the Bonecrusher fight
    5. Lewis from the Tyson fight
    6. Vitali from the Lewis fight

    Can't rank Wlad or Foreman in this framework since there is not a specific fight indicated.

    - It 'aint even close!



    - This response being no less absurd than any other response that doesn't include the word "Tyson" in it. HOWEVER, if you're looking for a great example of Tyson's all-encompassing abilities and dominance, the Spinks fight is not the one. Spinks was shitting in his drawers, and hardly put up a fight. Mike could have won that one with one arm in a cast. He could have just yelled "BOO!" and waited for Spinks to fall over dead.

    The Rudduck fight was great, showing perhaps his most impressive defense. Berbick was good, of course. Also lots of his fights just before he won the title. Even the Holmes fight showed more of his skills than the Spinks fight.
