    So whats your point? Cause Lewis beat Bowe..............and Bowe beat Holy twice..................that means Lewis is better than Holy?


    Listen dumb ass.....................then expain that theory with Mayorga, Mosley and Forrest.



    Forrest beat Mosley...............Mosley beat Mayorga..............Mayorga beat Forrest..........................full circle.....................alls it means is syles make fights.....................your examples suck

    Fair enough, but anyone who saw both fights scored the second one close and the first one not close at all. So on that basis it really should have been 2-0 Lewis. And what I don't understand is why not factor in the first fight as well as the second fight when making a determination of who would win? The ONLY reason I can think of is that it doesn't support your position and therefore you simply ignore it and pretend it never happened. Your position makes some kind of sense if they had fought only once and it was a close fight, but that's not what happened. They fought twice, one of which was close.

    Would you pick any version of Rahman to beat Lewis? Do you think Rahman is better than Holyfield?

    Holy was a little quicker and definitely could operate at a much higher workrate as compared to their fight. Its conceiveable he could beat Lewis. Lewis had his struggles with Mercer who fought somewhat similarly to Holy, just not as fast or as good with combinations. I could see Holyfield winning a decision against the best Lewis.

    It's possible but hard to say. Often a fighter fights to the level of their opposition and does just enough to win. Holyfield himself was known for this. I personally think it's a style issue and that Lewis' size, strength and reach advantages would always give Holyfield problems.

    The best Lewis always beats any version of Holyfield imo. Lewis would always utilize his superior outside skills against Holyfield, never allowing himself to fall into a brawl against Evander.

    I'd favor Lennox over a prime Holyfield...but Lennox was so very on and off that it's hard to accurately ever comfortably pick him.

    Holyfeild who beat Bowe beats Lewis


    Lewis barely got past the Holfeild rematch and was shook up a few times, people who think Holyfeild became some kind of ring general are mad. He was in with Ruiz just after badly hurting Ruiz then just doing nothing to put him away. Holyfeild was a shadow of his former self by even the Tyson fight just being real tough got him through.

    Holyfeild wins UD prime vs prime
