tyson was a very good fighter in his prime but he wasn't "great". the overrating of him on here is astonishing. we saw tyson for what he was... creating some fantasy fighter in your head doesn't wash with me. you can come up with all the excuses you want but at the end of the day it's bull****. prove to me tyson would of been a different fighter in different circumstances ? you can't can you? tyson came from a tough place in brooklyn... a broken home! he had the mindset that he did. we've seen that fighter! and he proved he wasn't great. if you change the fact he came from a broken home from a trough part of brooklyn, we might not of got a mike tyson in the first place. so leave the fantasy **** were it belongs.... in your head. ok? vitali beats him. wladimir doesn't.
lennox had a good chin, wlad doesn't. that would of been a mismatch! he would of done the same to wlad that he done to michael grant. sanders got there first. case closed.
it's not a close fight in the slightest. to even suggest it is is disgusting. wlad will NEVER be anywhere near the fighter lennox was. fact. his best wins don't even match up to lewis's worst wins. :deal
you are a prized tit! lewis ran from no man. and don't bring up vitali, he was 38 years old. so stop talking ****.
Must be a lot of Brits here... Prime for prime here is how I would rate them.. Holyfield Tyson Holmes Lewis Vitali Wlad Bowe
1. Larry Holmes 2. Lennox Lewis 3. Riddick Bowe 4. Evander Holyfield 5. Mike Tyson 6. Vitali Klitschko 7. Wlad Klitschko :smoke
double standards...wlad had a dodgy chin sanders broke it..if thats the case how the **** does lewis have a gd chin if he was knocked out twice by tits..so surly by your standards it should say..lewis had a dodgy chin hes just lucky mccall got there 1st and not wlad.....boys with your double standards and foolishness dont deserve an opinion based on the **** yous post..thats a fact..
it has 0 too do with UK. lewis beat 2 times holyfield and thats the end of the story. young amateur lewis also beat bowe, bowe never wanted too face lewis in the pros, holyfield had problems with bowe....lewis simply the better boxer
Vitali then Wladimir, the two greatest heavyweights of all time. Big gap. Lewis. After that I'm not sure how to rank them. They're kind of close I think.
Rahman and McCall KOed Lewis by the first solid punch they landed and they don't even punch remotely as hard as Wlad.
OP asked to rank them H2H so it is not what he has done - it is what he would do to them. Vitali has the style to beat them all.
Injury losses. They were losing the respective fights. Are you gonna argue that that any strawweight can beat Foreman if Foreman slips after the opening bell and is unable to continue?
