    LOL what?
    From your list, lets compare

    Holy's 10 best wins of the 90s
    Tyson
    Tyson
    Bowe
    Foreman
    Douglas
    Moorer
    Mercer
    Holmes
    Stewart
    Cooper


    Lennox's top 10 wins of the 90s:
    Holy
    Holy
    Ruddock
    Golota
    Briggs
    Mercer
    Morrison
    McCall
    Bruno
    Tucker

    Tyson*2 vs Holy*2 (Holyfield had slipped in 3 years, so cant pick here)
    Bowe >>>Ruddock
    Foreman>>>Golota
    Douglas>>>Briggs
    Moorer>Mercer (not by much, but still)
    Mercer>>Morrison
    Holmes'92> McCall (Holmes95=McCall)
    Stewart<<Bruno
    Cooper<Tucker

    Absolutely Holyfield had better wins in 90's than Lennox

    :lol::lol::lol:

    This is HILARIOUS...

    Let me show you how easy it is do what you just did....

    Holy > Tyson (beat him twice and it was a year and a half, not 3 in between Holy - Tyson II and Lennox - Holy I :patsch. Don't know what you have to go on to say he had slipped. Only performances in between were avenging the Moorer loss by stoppage and a wide UD over Bean)
    Morrison > Foreman (beat him)
    Golota > Bowe (kicked his ass until he had a brain fart)
    McCall > Holmes (beat him)
    Briggs > Cooper
    Bruno > Stewart
    Ruddock > Moorer (what do you think would have happened when Razor landed the first right hand on that pure china that Moorer was packing
    Tucker > Douglas (TKO 10)
    Mercer = Mercer

    And of course, the grand finale...

    Lennox > Holy (x2) :yep

    Lennox fan detected :lol:

    Ok, Foreman in any list is >>>>Morrison, and Foreman from Holyfield fight KO's Morrison from Lennox fight
    Bowe/92-93 >>>>Golota (fact)

    McCall beat Holmes by 1(ONE!) point margin in 1995, it was 6-6 in rounds but McCall got 10-8 for round 9.
    1992 Holmes beats McCall 116-112

    Mercer was better in Holyfield fight, 15 lbs lighter

    1993 alcoholic drug addicted Tucker isn't 1987 Tucker. And in 1987 he barely beat Douglas. 1993 loses to Douglas clearly.

    What do you have to go on to suggest Foreman from Holy beats Morrison from Lennox? :think He lost damn near every round to Tommy.

    In what way did Tucker barely beat Douglas? He stopped him with 5 rounds to go. And everyone and their mother knows how out of shape the version of Douglas that Holy fought was. Drugged up Tucker beats fat, lazy Douglas again.

    The best performance of Mercer's career was against Lennox, the best fighter he ever fought.

    Bowe TKO'd Holy in '95 and then got his ass whooped twice in the next 13 months by Golota. Lennox took 90 seconds to end Golota.

    We can play around with semantics all you like.

    Lennox's resume > Holy's resume

    Lennox > Holy all day.

    Holyfield beat Rahman and Ruiz. Rahman is 1 and 1 with Lennox.

    But the point is the 90s. Limit one to that decade, limit both.

    Look at my posts on the matter. I wasn't the one who compared anything from outside the 90s.

    Tucker was washed up against Lewis. A far cry from his prime against Douglas.

    Bowe was a zombie against Golota.

    Golota was reacting to an illegal injection against Lewis, that nearly killed him. He won a documented law suit,

    Forgot Rahman....or did you.

    Because if you're going to bring up post 90s in a Holy/Lewis discussion at all it's not something you even want to get started on. Lennox accomplished 10 times more in 7 fights from 2000-2002 than Holy did in 16 fights from 2000-2011

    I didn't bring it up.

    I critized a comparison of Lewis entire career output to only a decade of Evander, and your not making sense...looks like you just want to cheerlead and misread posts, good for you.

    No kidding, Lewis was at his career peak in the early 00s while Evander was in his 40s and broken down by injuries. Lewis retired with far less fights and health issues at the same age Holy was stepping in the ring with Lewis.

    Old Holyfield still managed to school the guy who knocked Lewis out, and Ruiz is a better win than Grant, washed up Tyson, Rahman, or Botha so I think your numbers are exaggerated.

    Holyfield peaked in the 80s in a lower weight class, and had a hall of fame career while Lennox was still biding his time.
