Sorry Wlad but I just don't see you beating any of the above at their best!
Holyfieldwas at his best he lost the first Bowe fight imo
Nah not IMO. He was in the rematch but Bowe may not have been. In the first match he had just lost his brother after he was shot in the chest by his best friend. I think that may have had some mental effect.
I just think he came up against somebody that was at their very peak and was far too big. P4P Holyfield may have won that fight, but Bowe's performance is one of the best and most complete I have seen in a Heavyweight world Title fight. Bowe never reproduced that form again though.

Bowe was overqweight, under prepared and had to deal with not knowing what had happend to his wife (Fan Man) in the 2nd fight, which Holyfiled just nicked imo.

Having said that Bowe did decide to kidnap his wife a few years later, so maybe he wasn't that fond of her anyway
