    Yawn.

    Size, strength, technical skills, power and good handspeed and mobility for somebody so big.

    Obviously you'll go on about his chin. Anybody can get sparked. You seem to think one knockout equals a china-chin. You simply do not understand the way boxing works and never will.

    Now go and watch some of his fights and a Youtube video of him taking big punches from noted-punchers and educate yourself. Clearly a top 8 HW of all-time on the basis of his ability, H2H, resumé and achievements.

    Prime Tyson, definitely (1986-88 or so).

    Holmes (my #1 selection), Lewis, Bowe, Tyson, and Holyfield
     
  7. I'd say the best fighter of the last 30 years was Evander Holyfield at HW. This guy dominated cruiserweight and then defeated the best at HW. Lennox came into his own when the Americans began getting old and the shitty Euro fighters came in.
    1.Evander Holyfield
    2.Mike Tyson
    3.Lennox Lewis
    4.Vitali Klitschko

    These are the names.

    What is the 'best heavy?'

    Beatability in ones prime? A man who reigns with integrity and character? Longevity and defenses?

    Hard to say between Lewis and Holmes. One of the two for sure though. Bowe at his best might have beaten both, but he's a "what if" kind of guy. And before someone else brings him up, all three of them would have beaten Ibeabuchi.
