I honestly wrote all the names on apiece of paper and ranked the top 20 using a neutral site (Cox' Corner), and the other 12, I went with my head. I had no idea a Klitschko would fight Tyson, serious.
I just don't see Wlad beating Tyson. It would be a war, and Wlad's stiff jab would trouble Iron Mike, but neither Klitschko has fought anyone remotely close to the top caliber of HW, aside from Vitali fighting a past prime Lewis.
I think Lennox Lewis, Jack Johnson, Evander Holyfield, and maybe Rid**** Bowe give a prime Ali the most trouble.
I like Vitali, who's by far the better Klitschko in my eyes. I had Vitali beating Frazier, most likely by KO, and fighting a tough decision with Holmes, probably controversial. I had no doubt that if the Klitschko's fought, Vitali would be victorious.
They are ATG HW fighters, it's sad that we didn;t get to see them maybe 10 years sooner, in Bowe, Lewis, Holyfield, Moorer, and that era.
I do think you're giving Johnson a bit too much credit in the head to head category. He was great, but You really have to think of the guys he was fighting.
