Who have the GREATEST RESUME of the last 25 years?

I think it's resume+ achievements +skills in that order.

In my opinion the quality of wins have got to be much more important than stat numbers.

Like for example if Ali at age 38 had pulled off the upset over Holmes, it would have been a much better win than Foreman's over Moorer, despite the fact Foreman broke the record books.

 

I'm going to use this guy's quotes to give a few more examples of what he said.

When under dogs win, that is a big bonus to their resume. Right now everyone can look back and say
wow Lennox Lewis is definitely definitely better than Golota, Mason, and Ruddock, BUT AT THE TIME.

1- Gary Mason. 35-0 Super Champion 35 KO'S. Knocked out every guy he ever faced

against 15-0 Young Lennox. Everyone thought Lewis was stepping up way too fast and was going to get brutally starched. Lewis knocked him out.

2- Razer Ruddock
Lewis was an underdog. Ruddock took Tyson to hell and back, what chance does a Brit have? Lewis knocked him out in 2.


3- Golota vs Lewis
Lewis was a big under dog. Golota dominated Bowe 2x. AT THE VERY LEAST, people expected a life-death fight against Lewis. Most predicate Golota KO.

Lewis knocked him out in 40 seconds.



3 Massively under rated wins.

 

I respect Tyson, but the only time he was an underdog was against Lennox Lewis.

The reasons it's different with Lennox and Bernard being under dogs so many times and winning compared to say
a Rahman or Douglas, is Rahman and Douglas never duplicated their big upsets again.

Bernard and Lennox proved time and time again they can beat the odds and beat the favorite.

 

Also I know a lot of people bash Pacquaio's win over Oscar.

But once again AT THE TIME, he was a under dog. Numerous boxing experts and analysts thought Oscar was just going to be too big and strong for Manny.
This is important because it don't matter what anyone say NOW, at the time Manny costed a big upset and it is a good win.




Further QUOTES of
Lewis-Golota.


From boxing experts

:
"Golota will force Lewis into his kind of a fight, and his power will be the determining factor in the bout." - Dave Bontempo, ESPN Boxing Analyst

"Golota is an underrated fighter who doesn't get enough credit. He will have leaned his lessons from the Bowe fights and will finish off Lewis." - Anthony Gargano, New York Post

"Golota in two rounds - no contest. I think Lewis talks, but can't back it up with the the walk. Golota will absolutely be too much for him." - Dan Hirshberg, The Trentonian

"Golota will put too much pressure on Lewis, who will make the mistake of slugging it out with him." - Steve Sneddon, Gannet News Service

"It'll be close through four, and then Golota hits and hurts Lewis in the fifth with a booming right. He then proceeds to wear Lewis down for a ninth-round win." - Chris Thorne, Newark Star-Ledger

"Golota will turn the fight into a war. he can take a shot. Lewis will try to keep his distance but won't be able to for long." - Robert Seltzer, El Paso Times.

 

None of those are as good as Holyfields win over Tyson

 

Of course not.

Lennox Lewis's resume is based on a wide collection of victories over good fighters. He never had his Frazier or his Foreman. What he did have is a list of great punchers, world class fighters,iron chin warriors, and slick skilled veterans which all combined to make up one of the greatest resumes in HW history.

Holyfield had his Tyson moment, Lewis had multiple moments of smaller magnitude.

Also Tyson fan boys are under rating the Mike of 2000-2002. Mike was far removed from his prime, but he was still a pretty good fighter compare to heavyweights overall.

Ask yourselves this.

2001-2002 Tyson vs David Haye.
Who takes it?
It's 50-50, maybe 40-60 to Haye and that's stretching it.

David Haye is one of Wladimir's top 3 wins.
