I've had fun posting my thoughts on many of the heavyweight matchups recently posted. I have decided to make my own tournament featuring some of the best heavyweights of the 1990s and 2000s. Thanks to GI for the format.

Mike Tyson (1990 as a prime Tyson was never seen in the 90s)
Evander Holyfield
Riddick Bowe
Lennox Lewis
Old George Foreman (at the peak of his second career)
Wladimir Klitschko
Vitali Klitschko
David Tua

If not otherwise stated (as in Tyson and Foreman) all fighters are in their prime.

2 points for a win, 1 for a draw, 0 for a loss. Fighters on the same number of points are ranked according to who won their matchups, if 1-1, according to number of KO wins. The bottom 4 are eliminated, 1st fights 2nd for a place in the final, 3rd fights 4th with the loser eliminated and the winner fighting the loser of 1st vs 2nd for a place in the final.
