Thank God no-one has voted for Ibeabuchi, although I probably just jinxed it with this post.

Tiger's gotta come out on top, but Bassey is so very under-appreciated.

With the four heavyweights I'd say the order would be

ike 6'2 244
izon 6'3 225
peter 6'2 240
izegwire 6'0 190

Izeqwire wasn't a heavy now that I think of it he was a decent cruiser the match with Henry Milligan is on youtube if anyone wants to check it out. Never saw Bassey or lasisi fight before.

Dick Tiger is a top 50 pound per pound all-time great. What a fighter!
