Lewis, Tyson, Holmes,Foreman & Ali would be my main pics (not in order) Initially I did not put Ali in, but he beat 'Big' George, so how can you discount him

I would also put Riddick Bowe in there (even though he would not be on my 'Greatest' list)
No peak Holyfield ??Yes the timing and points in career's were askew...but the man beat 4 of the 6 mentioned....I know,Holmes was not prime and Bowe took 2 of 3 .

No Marciano ........Lyle's going to be furious...
No way i would put Holyfield in my list as much as i respect him, a 42 year old Holmes almost beat a prime Holyfield. Holmes come on very strong in the later rounds and took 5 rounds out of 12 IMO, a prime Holmes out points Holyfield no question. Holyfield was far too brave for his own good, and thats why he was badly hurt and wobbled by lesser fighters like Cooper, Dokes, Stewart, instead of using his boxing skills which he did have as he showed in the 2nd fight with Bowe. Holyfield is one of my favorites but he doesn't make my list.
