            holmes, but either wlad's getting unfairly criticized or people are biased in favor of holmes. because eddie chambers and tony thompson can't be that much worse that the likes of marvis frazier, david bey, renaldo snipes, tex cobb, or leroy jones.

              Tough pick... It's a tossup between Holmes, Holyfield, and Lewis.

              If you go off H2H, there's a lot of variables to consider.

                  Very true and I'm aware of that, but does Wlad have 1 Ken Norton level fighter on his resume?

                  Wlad still has to beat his version of Cooney in David Haye. One (or both) of the Klitschko's would've already been a top 20 ATG already if they would've fought each other.

                  1 of the best names on Wlad's resume is a past it Ray Mercer and Holmes beat a prime Mercer when he was out of his prime.

                    Holmes' career was as much 70s as 80s, so I'll go Holyfield or Lewis.
