    **I decided to take out Tony Thompson as he is already on the list of defenses once.

    ***Assuming these fighters are at there version once they fought Lennox/Wlad.

    This is what I have:

    Tucker - Lewis
    Bruno - Lewis
    Brewster - Wlad
    Ibragimov - Wlad
    Golota - Lewis
    Briggs - Lewis
    Chagaev - Wlad
    Holyfield - Lewis
    Grant - Lewis
    Haye - Wlad
    Tua - Lewis
    Wach - Wlad

    Wlad = 5, Lennox = 8

    I think Peter from Wlad I would destroy Grant.

    Chagaev vs Mavrovic is a real 50/50

    Not sure about Ibragimov vs Akinwande either.

    1) Calvin Brock vs. Tony Tucker
    -I like Brock here with a hard fought decision. He actually busted up Wlad's body pretty good and won a couple early rounds. Tucker was well his past best at this point.

    2) Ray Austin vs. Frank Bruno
    3) Lamon Brewster vs. Phil Jackson
    4) Sultan Ibragimov vs. Henry Akinwande
    5) Tony Thompson vs. Andrew Golota
    6) Hasim Rahman vs. Shannon Briggs
    7) Ruslan Chagaev vs. Zeljko Mavrovic
    8) Eddie Chambers vs. Evander Holyfield
    9) Samuel Peter vs. Michael Grant
    10) David Haye vs. Francois Botha
    11) Jean-Marc Mormeck vs. David Tua
    12) Mariusz Wach vs. Mike Tyson
    13) Francesco Pianeta vs. Vitali Klitschko

    The order means a lot here. Change who meets who, and the results also change. Having said that, here's how I see it. My picks are in bold


    1) Calvin Brock vs. Tony Tucker
    2) Ray Austin vs. Frank Bruno
    3) Lamon Brewster vs. Phil Jackson
    4) Sultan Ibragimov vs. Henry Akinwande
    5) Tony Thompson vs. Andrew Golota
    6) Hasim Rahman vs. Shannon Briggs
    7) Ruslan Chagaev vs. Zeljko Mavrovic
    8) Eddie Chambers vs. Evander Holyfield
    9) Samuel Peter vs. Michael Grant
    10) David Haye vs. Francois Botha
    11) Jean-Marc Mormeck vs. David Tua
    12) Mariusz Wach vs. Mike Tyson
    13) Francesco Pianeta vs. Vitali Klitschko

    Lewis: 7
    Wlad: 5

    One footnote, Wlad is 1-0 vs. Rhaman. Lewis is 1-1 vs Rahman. Do they have any other common opponents?

    1) Calvin Brock vs. Tony Tucker - Tony Tucker by a close decision.
    2) Ray Austin vs. Frank Bruno - Bruno outboxes Austin and stops him in 6
    3) Lamon Brewster vs. Phil Jackson - Brewster first 3
    4) Sultan Ibragimov vs. Henry Akinwande - Ibragimov outworks the bigger man to win a close UD
    5) Tony Thompson vs. Andrew Golota - Golota outboxes Thompson early but soon gets frustrated by the tiger's akward style and gets stopped late
    6) Hasim Rahman vs. Shannon Briggs - Prime Briggs destroys this version of the rock. Rd1/2 KO
    7) Ruslan Chagaev vs. Zeljko Mavrovic - Mavrovic in a very close fight
    8) Eddie Chambers vs. Evander Holyfield - Chambers speed makes it competitive early but his lack of activity gets him stopped late
    9) Samuel Peter vs. Michael Grant - Grant crumbles under Peter's relentless pressure and gets stopped in the first 3.
    10) David Haye vs. Francois Botha - Haye dominates the much slower Botha and stops him in 4
    11) Jean-Marc Mormeck vs. David Tua - Tua rushes in and KO's the faded Momreck early
    12) Mariusz Wach vs. Mike Tyson - Wach takes anything the 2002 faded Tyson throws early, Wach then Ko's him late
    13) Francesco Pianeta vs. Vitali Klitschko - Vitali destroys the inexperienced Pianeta in 2

    7/6 Lenno

    Interesting take. Wach did in fact stand up to an extreme amount of punishment from Wlad, and he's certainly big and powerful. It becomes a question of how much did Tyson really have in the tank at this point? We know not long after he would be getting injured and losing to the likes of Danny Williams. I know win or lose, I wouldn't be surprised if Wach sees the final bell.
