It's Larry Holmes, I like your list but I would flip flop Lewis and Bowe. Lewis or Holyfield can be # 2 imo.

I have Bowe ahead of Lewis because of the lack of KO losses to B level fighters on his resume, and because of a dominant win over a prime, undefeated (possibly) top 5-7 heavyweight of all time in Evander Holyfield (not to mention a stoppage against Holyfield as well) + he was never defeated decisively.

I voted for Mike Tyson but IMO it's Lennox Lewis or Larry Holmes

I picked Lennox. He's virtually undefeated, and fought everybody.

There's a reason why Bowe ducked Lewis. Lewis was clearly the superior fighter. Back then in the amateurs, and when they were both in there prime.
