I remember watching the Frasier/Foreman fight live when I was a kid. My jaw just dropped seeing Frazier just man handled and knocked around like that.
Would love for your jaw to drop in front of me, stud.

Wiggs, why didn't you just ask mike to rank them when you were chatting with him in the barber shop?

Because I thought of the question this week and not then. Next time I will.

Riddick Bowe doesn't belong in the same sentence with these guys.  One night in his career, he put it all together and beat Evander Holyfield.  That was it.  He lost the rematch and only won the trilogy because
Evander had the "mystery condition" going on.  He was basically knocked down and almost out in the third fight and Evander really never threw another punch after that.  Not an impressive performance at all.  Two brutal ass beatings at the hands of Andrew Golota.  In my opinion the most overrated heavyweight in a long, long time.  

But to play the game, here goes.

Lewis
Holyfield
Tyson
Bowe

The 90's had some decent if not exiting heavyweights to go along with these guys.  Most of whom Bowe ducked or didn't fight for whatever reason.

Moorer
Mercer
Foreman
Holmes (had a good run in the early 90's)
Morrison
Golota
Rahman
David Tua
John Ruiz
Chris Byrd
Klitchko Bros at the tail end of the 90's
Ike Ibeabuchi (who knows what could have been?)

don king already tried to organize old foreman vs tyson and tyson said fuck no because he knows better. old george fought very calm and
relaxed and rarely got angry but when he did like against cooney he put the beat down on you.

young foreman blasts tyson out of the ring 1st round.  watch foreman vs frazier 1   tyson aint no frasier to get up 300 times lol
Agree, Tyson never fought anyone close to a young Foreman. Don't know if he would knock him out in the first round though. Tyson could move in the ring,he was pretty good on his feet, and his head was always moving. Tyson also had very quick hands for a heavyweight.

The only two times he showed up committed were the 1st Holyfield fight and the second Golota fight.  DQ aside, he was beaten like a drum in the 2nd Golota fight.  Same could be said of Buster Douglass, if only
he would have always shown up commited, he would have been great.  Maybe, but he never did it more than once. 

My point stands, Riddick Bowe should not be in the Hall of Fame.
