I favor Holmes or Bowe and lean towards Holmes.

Evander vs Holyfield

Tough choice - stepping back to their amateur days in 1984, my pick would be Holyfield.

With Lennox in 1988 and their pro bouts, likely Lewis edges Holyfield, but after reviewing
Holyfield in his last title fight, although he was edged in the decision, Evander's ring movement was enough to give him the nod over Lewis.

Jimmy Young > Chris Byrd

And Byrd was far from a Middleweight.

Who is the most skilled Heavyweight since Ali ? not talking about achievement but who has had the best skillset since Ali ? The reason i ask is because someone told me they reckon Bowe was and whilst i dont necessarily agree it got me thinking who is the most skilled HW since Ali ?

Thoughts? sorry if ive already posted this.

Chris Byrd by a long way

mike tyson in his prime was incredibly skilled. great footwork, great defense, put punches togheter. to the general public he was impressive cuz he knocked everyone out, to boxing fans he was impressive cuz he did it without getting hit. im not saying hes the most skilled, but its not a dumb answer. hes at 5 or 6 since ali.

number one is larry holmes though, then lewis.
