Tyson 1986-1991 Bowe 1992-1997 Holyfield 88-93 94-99 Lewis 1997-2002 Quality and quantity of wins as well as losses With everything taken into account what run was the most impressive and dominant?
I think it was LL, despite the Rahman KO loss which he avenged in style. Avenged the McCall loss, but that fight should have never taken place of course. Brutalized Golota, who only lost to Bowe twice because he measured bodyshots the same as Mares and Salido. KO'd roidmonster Briggs, Mavrovic might be one of the most underrated of the decade, beat Holy twice but got robbed once, dominated Tua who only had lost a razor thin decision against the mythical Ibeabuchi (I thought that was a draw), avenged the KO loss to Rahman by KO and then went on to KO a well past it Tyson... That's a resume.
For me it's between Tyson and Lewis as well. I would say Tyson had the better 5 year run with consistent dominant performances over guys that other ATGs were struggling with. But lewis, for me is above him in terms of legacy and total body of work
Holyfield's run from 1993 to 1998 was more impressive. I don't know why TS had choosen his run from 1994 to 1999
I was thinking about just heavyweight runs but if you include his cruiserweight wins culminating with the win over Douglas then that is terrific as well
