1. Holmes
2. Tyson
3. Lewis
4. Bowe
5. Witherspoon
6. Thomas
7. Cooney
8. M Spinks
9. Tubbs
10. Bruno

10th place was hard, it coulda been Mercer, Morrison, Moorer, Dokes, Foreman, Byrd and some others.

I know he was inactive going in but Cooney above Spinks just looks wrong. When you see a guy land like 80 out of 90 punches in less than a round it's hard to imagine him ever losing to that fighter.

Holmes
Lewis
Bowe
Tyson
M Spinks
Witherspoon
Foreman
Moorer
Douglas
Ruddock/Tucker/Mercer/Byrd- draw from a hat

1) Holmes (removing his 1970s victories over Weaver, Norton, Shavers hurts him here)

2) Lewis

3) Tyson

4) Bowe

5) Witherspoon

6) Foreman

7) Berbick/Thomas flip a coin

8) Tubbs

9) Bruno

10) Tucker/Mercer flip a coin

Once they retire I'd put Evander at #1, with Holmes dropping as his best wins were in the 70s.

Vitali comes after Bowe.

Wlad after Witherspoon.

Wen was Bruno ever dropped like a sack of sh!t?? He just didn't go down like that.
However, even tho I'd favor Foreman in a match vs Bruno it would be close odds. So don't get carried away.

I'm not saying Foreman would blow him out in two or three rounds, but when he put him away, it'd be hard & convincing. Bruno was way too panicky & limited to pull it together against the 90's Foreman.
