    - Please vote and EXPLAIN your choice

    - If you vote OTHER, then please say who it is you think deserved inclusion in the poll and WHY you think so


    * I have not included fighters whose best wins and/or biggest fights and/or peak years came more than 20 years ago. Therefore, I have left out guys like Julio Cesar Chavez (McCallum would be another) because I believe Julio's peak was in the mid-late 80s at 130 and 135, I think he would be more suited to an 80s poll than a 90s and 00s poll, ie if he is included in this poll we think more about the Randall defeat than the Rosario win. But hey, if you believe JCC should be included, vote OTHER and say so, fair enough. On the other hand, I have included Evander Holyfield in the poll because even though the Real Deal's peak was arguably at cruiserweight around 86/87, his biggest fights and best wins (Bowe, Tyson) were undoubtedly well into the 90s.

    How can Holyfield's resume be better than Lewis? Holy should have two losses to Lewis. Lewis had two losses in his career.

    Yori Boy Campas
    Jesse James Leija
    Jorge Paez
    Oba Carr
    Javier Castillejo

    Before moving up 2 HW, Holyfield was the greatest CW of all time. Although that does go back further than 20 years so you have a point.

    Also, we're talking p4p here. Lewis was huge compared to Holyfield.

    It's still the best...and the question posed was "Who has the BEST RESUME of the past 20 years?"

    Yes, it can be. Holyfield has victories over a prime Bowe, an old Foreman, a much younger Tyson, and Buster Douglas. Those wins are as impress or more impress than any in Lewis's career. Sure, he beat Holy, but those were hardly dominating performances. If I remember correctly, they were about as exciting as the putrid Wlad vs. Iggy fight....something like 8 punches landed per round.
