    I agree.

    You can't possibly say Lewis has a better chin than Holyfield.


    Let Lewis face Tyson, Foreman, Bowe, Moorer etc and see if he does as well as Holyfield did chin-wise.

    I used to look at it objectively when I was a fan of both.

    Yes, believe me there was a time when I was a fan of Lewis (as unlikely as that seems).


    I still thought that Holyfield had the better resume. He beat the better fighters. When he faced a mutual opponent with Lennox (i.e. Tyson, Ocasio, Rahman etc), he almost always faced a better version of the fighter and did better against that fighter than Lennox.


    And he did all this while not even being a natural Heavyweight.



    And the reason I started despising Lewis is the same reason I hate Paquiao - FANS.

    Their fans are delusional ****s. They think they know everything about every fighter and predict unrealistic outcomes to fantasy match ups.


    I know they are FANTASY match-ups, and nobody is really correct because anything can happen, but when Lewis fans predict that Lewis would knock out George Foreman in the 3rd round(and they are deadly serious and certain), I start getting angry and suspicious.

    Some of them literally think Lewis could beat any Heavyweight in history with ease (not all his fans... some of them).

    I know all fighters have their nuthuggers, but the Lewis ones just annoy the **** out of me.


    I know Evander Holyfield's limits. I know he wouldn't beat Ali or Holmes or Foreman in their respective primes. But it seems Lewis fans don't.

    First of all, 'angry and suspicious' chill lol

    Don't think many think Lewis has an easy night against other ATG heavies in fantasy match ups but you can't deny he matches up well H2H with most of them. Lewis on his best night with his size and anything else is a H2H fantasy beast. Lewis could have knocked out Foreman, its not that crazy to suggest it. Foreman would obviously have a good chance of a KO as well.

    A few OTT fans shouldn't stop you appreicating what Lewis achieved. His resume is stacked with quality wins and he did beat your man head to head.

    Once again Lewis beats Holyfield.

    I'm sure there will be a lot of excuses though - It's the Holyfield way.
