Cant say really he didnt fight the names til they were past they prime People dont talk about this with LL though.........................................
Tyson in his prime arguably beats any fighter in Boxing history Lennox doesn't..... jabbing the most bums ans staying in shape for the longer period doesn't make you the best!!
Its tough to say. He didn't become the best until 99 but he did clean out a whole lot of the division bar Tyson in that decade. He only lost once and he went on to avenge that in a meaningless rematch. In the same decade holy only list to bowe on my cards, and arguably beat better competition. He certainly sat atop the division for longer during the decade. However Lewis was pretty much the avoided man all decade and was the most consistent. Its up for debate because it was such a great decade.
Lummox Lewis? HaHa! Holyfield was the best of the 90's. Holyfield fought everyone any time and place. Lewis struggled with old Ray Mercer,fat old drug addict Tony Tucker,fought Tyson when he was 10 years past his prime etc Lewis was the biggest joke of the 90's. That's the real truth. Lummox Lewis 1. Accomplishments: 2 time lineal champ-sounds good but is it? 2. Competition Faced: old drug addict Tyson,old Holyfield,old fat Tony Tucker,Fat Tua,HIV positive Tommy Morrison,glass jaw Bruno,Razor Ruddock,crack addict Lionel Butler,crack and alcohol addict Oliver McCall in the rematch 3. Competition Not Faced: Riddick Bowe,Prime anyone,John Ruiz,Chris Byrd,southpaws 4. Reaction to Adversity: was getting battered by his only taller opponent,got KO'd by average fighter Rahman with one punch,lay on the floor got counted out. 5. What’s Left to Prove: fighting someone bigger,beating anyone who was in their true prime etc LENNOX LEWIS = NO LEGACY
Tyson was king of the late 80's bro. In the 90's he wasnt even half as good. it's Holyfield. Holyfield beat former and future champ Foreman,beat Prime Bowe,beat 2 time HW champ Moorer,Lennox killer Rahman,Tyson (2) Holyfield even beat the Mercer who was robbed of a decision over Lummox Lewis. Holyfield beat John Ruiz and Tyson slayer Buster Douglas. Who did Tyson beat in the 90's? Bruce Seldon? Glass jaw Frank Bruno? I love Mike but he lost all his big fights in the 90's. Holyfield left the biggest mark.
