i don't see how everyone or at least the clear majority don't vote for team 1.
ali would beat everyone on team 2.
foreman was more intimidating and more devastating than tyson. go watch foreman-frazier to see what would happen in foreman-tyson. though mike had a better chin and bigger and faster so it will go a lot longer and more competitive.
jim lampley shouldn't even be compared to howard cossell. that's like putting klistchko living in the same area code as ali or peter in the same sentence as joe louis.
the weakness in team 1 is frazier but holmes shouldn't even be in team 2 it should be holyfield. holmes was a different era. if you're gonna put holmes in team 2 then i want liston in team 1 to replace frazier.Comment

I think out of all those possible match ups, I'd like to see Tyson vs. Ali since so many have contemplated the outcome of this fight, even though I'm quite certain that Ali would win. I'd also like to see Foreman vs. Holmes.I'd would depend on the match-ups.
I like Ali in all the fights. Frazier would probably lose. Foreman might beat Tyson but would struggle vs. Lewis and Holmes.
The best 3 fight series I'd like to see is this, with the most anticipated first:
Foreman-Tyson
Ali-Lewis
Frazier-Holmes.
Edit: I forgot the commentators: I like a prime Cosell. I wanna hear him again screaming "Down goes Frazier, down goes Frazier!!!"
I like team 1 over team 2..Comment

That's some serous crack smokin' there. No way Lewis beats a Prime ALI or George.honestly? I think Lewis could beat all of the first team. It doesn't make him a greater fighter he just has a massive size advantage and is proberbly the most complete fight on that list. Are we picking fighters from the same era or around the same era?
cause Norton could've replaced Cosell and Holyfield/Bowe etc could've replaced Lampley.Comment

bad matchup against holmes. i think holmes would keep him away.
frazier is a slow starter and that's not good against a fast starter like mike.
lewis is too big for frazier. at lease ali is 6'3 and could use his excellent footwork against lennox. foreman only needs one roundhouse right to put lennox to sleep.
i don't think liston would do much better than frazier but just complaining about holmes being on team 2 since his era was before mike's and lennox. it should be holyfield on there and i think joe takes him.Comment

Well looking at the teams I think Ali>Lennox, Frazier>Tyson, and Holmes>Foreman. Mike was a fast starter but he really had nothing to offer from round 6 on. I believe Frazier could weather any storm Mike throws at him in the beginning rounds and goes on to make Tyson look silly in the second half of the fight.bad matchup against holmes. i think holmes would keep him away.
