damn, you have almost every heavyweight champ in history in that tournament.I have no idea who would win it but I am sure no heavyweight from the Uk wins it. I am not saying the UK champs in the tourny are not good, They are just not good enough to win the whole thing. I think Ali wins it. I am talking about the 24 year old Ali before the government took away 4 years of his prime. That Ali was greased lightning.
Looking at each contest stylistically...
I have Lewis, Holmes, Vitali and Fury advancing from their sections. I have Lewis beating Holmes and then Fury beating Vitali.
I’d then have Lewis edging Fury in the final.
