Buster Douglas was special against Mike Tyson, but he's stamina was suspect so a tough fighter who could put on alot of pressure. Would get to him in the later rounds.

Mike Tyson's superb run against Michael Spinks, Trevor Berbick, Tyrell Biggs. On those night's he was special but he'd still struggle against a tall rangey boxer aka Holmes, Ali.

Larry Holmes was superb against Earnie Shavers in there 1st meeting, he showed pretty much every attribute you want in a Heavyweight. But i still think he would lose to a 1960's Muhammad Ali.

Riddick Bowe looked amazing against Evander Holyfield, but he'd still struggle against someone with a good jab which was his biggest weakness. See the Biggs, Tubbs, fights for example.

I think the one you could count on is a prime Muhammad Ali, he's a good height for a Heavyweight. And has so many strong attributes he hasn't got any real glaring weaknesses.

But then again he'd always struggle with Ken Norton, no matter when he fought him. It would really depend on who they were matched with in the Tournament.

But fighter's like.

Ali
Holmes
Tyson

Would probably be top finisher's as long as they didn't meet each other early in the tournament.
They all have to fight each other! Is there anybody that wouldn't lose? I don't think there is.

I'd pick either Ali or Tyson as having the best chance of not losing, followed by Holmes I guess.
