    It does depend on the draw but i'd probably favour Lewis.

    I am with Hattons Hook on this , the draw would be important but if i had to pick one noe it would be Lewis although i think Tyson has a good chance too.

    Tyson easily without even trying.

    I would bet any amount of money that the '88 Tyson would KO everyone on that list.

    Most Likely Louis but a young hungry Dempsey would have a chance.

    I'd pick Lewis.

    Tyson, prime, would do well, but I don't think he could go undefeated like Lewis could. Prime Lennox has atleast a 55% shot against everybody on that list.

    I think the final would probably be Lewis-Tyson, with a Lewis knockout victory in the 11th for the win.

    You have some incredible matchups with a very healthy amount of swarmers. All I know is that a few of these fighters would have to retire at the end of this tourney. lol.

    Klitchko gets his ass torn up by frazier, rocky, dempsey, lennox and mike.

    Rocky would struggle against Louis and Lewis and his fight with Dempsey would be a bloodbath, no idea who would win though.

    Baer gets swallowed whole by Frazier and probably Mike.

    If Joe Louis catches Mike, that's it for Mike. He's never won a fight that he's been knocked down in.

    Dempsey and Louis? I don't know, I have a feeling that Louis catches Jack only to **** Jack off.

    Lewis gets chewn up and spit out by Frazier, probably a young Mike, maybe.... and Joe Louis. And I don't know if he has what it takes to hang with Dempsey more than 8 rounds .

    All in all... I say it comes down to Louis and Frazier or Louis and Dempsey or Dempsey and Frazier. F it, Frazier takes it.

    I agree with a lot of what you said. Draw would definitely make or break the outcome.

    Any combination of these explosive, ferocious sluggers Tyson+Dempsey+Frazier+Marciano = Bloodbath

    Lewis vs. Vitali, great outside fighters, would be a great fight that I think could go either way.

    Against the smaller, 4 Sluggers mentioned above, I would favor Vitali over Lewis to survive a fight with any of them. Vitali is a tough SOB where as Lewis...not quite as tough.

    I think all 4 Sluggers would be able to close the distance, swarm on Lewis and be the end of him.

    Of the rest, Baer doesn't compete with the Sluggers or the 2 Outside fighters or Joe Louis.

    Joe Louis, IMO, is the most adaptable and well rounded of the bunch and stands the best chance of winning this whole thing. He could frustrate Tyson and win. He could out maneuver and land counters on Lewis or Vitali. He had a great chin, and maybe the best ring IQ of the whole group. Louis only disadvantage is that he's physically smaller than most of those guys.
