    Head to head quite arguably, but in terms of resume, probably not.

    Holmes, I'd say. Undefeated in his prime and a longer time of dominance than Rocky.

    Don’t know how the hell fergurson could leave Tyson’s name out as an option but he’s the number 3 for me and Louis is number 5 at best for me.Holmes should be number 2 after Ali. They are the only 2 that I would start as favourites in a one off fight with prime Tyson.

    For me it really depends on criteria.

    I think it is judging by what Ferguson has been posting.


    Yeah sure sounds like it’s H2H.

    You might well be right Jack. When i read about Ali and Louis often being #1 and #2 i assumed it was resume based as it's virtually impossible not to have them above the rest in this regard. H2H tho this doesn't remotely apply, rightly or wrongly. McGrain's comments were deffo resume based and others are mixed.

    Had Lennox and Big George tied for three for a long time.

    Now, I have Lennox ahead ....by a whisker.

    Followed by Rocky and Larry.
