Good list.
I have Ali at no 1. Maybe it's nostalgia as well but I believe that Ali in his prime beats anyone. He really is the special one and GOAT.
From 2 to 4 I would need to put big guys. So there it would go Lennox, Wlad, Foreman and Vitali. They would have a great chance against any fighter from any area.
Joe Louis is the greatest or second greatest HW taking into account all his accomplishments. H2H I have him slightly lower but he would be a very tough opponent for anyone.
I don't rank Holmes highly as many do but I still think he would be able to hold his own against many, though I rank him lower than Lennox, Wlad and Foreman.
Tyson is definitely the second most special fighter in my book. In his very prime he would have a great chance of beating anyone including the big guys. Although he was way past his prime against Lennox in the first few rounds he showed he can cause a lot of problems even to much bigger fighters. The way he got Holmes out was impressive.
Holyfield, Frazier and Liston would have a lot of success but I see them loosing most of the fights against the above fighters. Of course it is possible that some of them would be just wrong for some fighter listed above (Holyfiled just had Tyson's number).
That's pretty much it. It's not exactly numeric but this gives some indication how I see it H2H.
I don't rank Bowe highly - not in Top10.
