    No ****. Lewis is ridiculously overrated

    Probably prime un-insanely rich Tyson.

    I don't get this one and I don't want to see it again.. but shouldn't Mike's long, long decline put Lewis' performance in lower class by default?

    Lennox who fought Golota. He´s just a complite fighter with long reach, heart, good speed, good power, ability to take a hit, durability etc. Vitali was only one who could match him; Holy and Tyson are too short, Bowe didn´t have durability to go distance with Lennox. My list; Lennox, Vitali, Tyson, Holy, Holmes, Wlad, Bowe.

    This contains the seed of the answer, but didn't state it.

    For that one night, the Douglas that beat Tyson was probably the best HW since Ali. Jab, footwork, power shots (both hands), determination, and much more.

    Curious, why would you list Vlad over Vitali? Vitali just beats the **** out of opponents and has a better chin than his brother. If they were not brothers and fought, I believe Vitali would win.

    Definitely Lewis. He always fought the best and his only two defeats came from lucky shots which he promptly avenged.

    No fighters from the 90's and after beats Tyson in his prime 80's.
