    Holmes and Lewis, the most skilled. Tyson would have beat either one of them prime for prime, IMO. Lewis would have been a better fight for Tyson though.

      As for Douglas,

      My opinion on what I've seen is that Holmes and Lewis were the best, closely followed by Tyson.

      I did some checking up on Douglas and his record isn't all that great, but the performance he put in against Tyson was beautiful from what I could make out. Looks like he took the money and ran against Holyfield.

        Holyfield > Tyson

          I voted for Lewis. Very athletic for 6'5". Great power. Brutal right hand. Pretty good chin. He's actually one of my favorite all time heavyweights. I can see Larry Holmes outvoting him though.

            Lennox was knocked out twice while still in his prime. I vote for Holmes.

              And Holyfield would beat Tyson prime for prime.
              I voted for Holyfield. I feel the mans career and legacy have been tarnished by injury/health problems and fighting long past his prime.
              Prime Holyfield was a hell of a champion, and would definitely take out Wlad.
