    So yes, def not top 5, so below that, in the lower top 10.
    You post as though Bowe, Holyfield, and Lewis (and to a far lesser extent: Morrison, Ruddock, Mercer, Moorer, Briggs, and Golota) all peaked at the same point in time and that Tyson, Bruno, Foreman and Holmes were dangerous enough to beat either Klitschko.

    You are wrong sir. Now at certain points the 1990's versions of Lewis and Holyfield would more than likely beat the Klitschkos. HOWEVER there are GLARING examples of when they wouldn't: Lewis-Bruno, Lewis-McCall, (not the 90's anymore but close) Lewis-Rahman I, Holyfield-Bowe III, Holyfield-Moorer I, and Holyfield-Dokes.

    Foreman and Holmes in their 1990's form weren't athletic enough to bother either brother...Foreman would have to lull them to sleep to land anything of note and Holmes...the guy had a great jab, but I think Wlad's right now is better than Holmes' in the 1990's plus it's followed by big time KO power.

    Bowe never fought any big time power punchers. He never fought Lewis, never fought Ruddock (who IMO would have wrecked him if in proper condition) and yet people ASSUME he had a great chin...why? Because he took punches from Evander and Golota

    Tyson post prison was a shell of himself...sure he had handspeed and power, but no plan B, he was way too eager to tie up and he got schooled by Buster Douglas and picked a part by Holyfield, I think either brother would have toyed with Mike at that stage of his career.

    Mercer was tough but judging by recent performances either brother would not only beat him, they would stop him. And again it's good to notice that the brothers fight in a manner which makes the opposing trainer say "I'm going to stop the fight" pretty early on. Mercer was tough as nails and had decent power but as is the curse of this division he was just terribly inconsistent.

    Everyone else only has a puncher's chance and hell we see where that gets you these days.

    And WTF with the "ASS BLOOD" comment...I'd expect that kind of name calling from Zelenoff but not from you. Creative as it may be it's pointless and makes you sound like a child.
