    Hard to say, but unless Lewis shrunk, I think he'd more than hold his own against many of the smaller fighters. It would be the Foreman's and the Ali's that would make for interesting viewing.

    Some great fighters manage to pull out their best win when they are past their prime.
    Muhammad Ali's biggest win is probably against George Foreman, for an obvious example.

    Far enough, but I do think a 17-7 round edge, or thereabouts is fairly dominating in my opinion, but others may disagree.

    I also think that the style edge would always favor Lewis. But, you're correct in saying that Lewis didn't beat the crap out of Holyfield, but he won both fights by a clear margin, especially the first one.

    You are such a childish poster I'm amazed the Classic section even tolerate you.

    Grow up.

    Holyfield's iron chin kept him in the fight, but he was beaten as conclusively as possible the first time around. The second time he adapted, and Lewis fought more aggressive which also played into Holyfields hands, yet still won comfortably.

    Your debating skills are terrible, your attitude is that of a rebellious 13 year old and your knowledge is woeful.
    Should have done this a while ago, you've just made number 8 on my ignore list.

    I think I'm going to do the same thing. Swearing and name calling is not a substitute for intelligence.

    I could understand it if I'd wound him up but that came out of nowhere. Obviously just a kid who worships Holyfield. I'll stick to debating guys who debate well like lefthook31 and Unforgiven.

    This D.T is just an empty tracksuit blowing in the wind.
