Was Lewis the best HW of the 90's?

Mid 80's-early 90's= Tyson
Early 90's = Bowe & Holyfield
Mid 90's = Holyfield
late 90's-early 2000 = Lewis

Tyson was good in mid 90's but just good, he could knockout the likes of Golota, Botha & Bruno but cant win against Champion. His skill aint the same anymore.

Bowe ducked Lewis but back he only lost once and its against prime Holyfield while Lewis was struggling against the likes of Bruno and Mccall at the time.

 

Lewis

Holyfield





Tyson
Bowe


In that order.

 

i agree with this.

 

Holyfield was as good as he ever was when he fought Lewis.

Maybe if Tyson hadnt been raping women,going to jail for 4 years and getting himself banned for biting peoples ears, paying Lewis step aside money,then maybe his fight with Lewis might have happened earlier!

 

You are 100% wrong.
#1. Holyfield was considered an over the hill,washed up old man in 1996 when he was an UNDERDOG in the first Tyson fight. Holyfield had been through many wars (Bowe,Bowe2,Bowe3,Cooper,Foreman,Qawi,Moorer)

The win over Tyson was Holyfield's last great feat.

In 1998 when Holyfield struggled to beat a bum called Vaughn Bean,Lennox Lewis said Holyfield looked like "a has been."

A year later,Lewis chooses to fight him! HaHa! Cherry picking at it's very finest.

#2. Mike Tyson admitted to every crime he has ever committed yet he still maintains his innocence on that BS **** charge. Why would he maintain his innocence for a crime he already served time for? Because Tyson never raped that gold digging ****!

#3. Don King paid Lewis to step aside from Tyson so Tyson could have a fast easy pay day with Bruce Seldon.

Holyfield by a mile. Annual ring #1 ranking:
Holyfield - 6 times - 1990,91,93,96,97,98
Lewis - 1 time - 99

 

he wasn't better than Tyson in 80s but definitely he was better than Tyson
and Bowe in 90s, I think he was a draw to Holly in 90s but overall his
resume extends past 90s and that overshadows Holly in a long shot

 

There was like two bro, he fought everyone else.

Some people like to hate on Lewis because he wasn't American.

But you know the man came over here and he was on top in the states mostly offer his career, and Lennox was a real world champion

If you can't respect Lewis, time to find another sport, he's one of the greats

 

So, fighting the WBA, IBF, and Ring #1 ranked heavyweight is cherry picking?
A man who entered the fight favourite?

Wow.

 

sorry bro but I cant respect a guy like Lewis. He was so fake. And half of his opponents were on drugs or old or both.

 

JeanPaulValley talks a lot of shite.

I noticed he didn't respond to Sandmans well reasoned post to him either.

Anyway Lewis closely followed by the great but inconsistent Holyfield.

 

How anyone can rate Lennox Lewis over Evander Holyfield is beyond me especially with his body or work .

 

Among that list LL is easily the best.

LL's prime was more from mid 90s to mid 00s

LL one of the best HWs ever - maybe the best.

 

Yes.
