    Lennox Lewis beat Holyfield after he destroyed Tyson and Moorer. He beat Bowe in the amateurs then again in the Pros by default.

    He even whipped Tyson for good measure with the use of only one hand.

    Lewis beat everyman he ever faced. He has an aura of invincibility that Tyson does not have.

    Lewis punched harder and was more brutal but could also switch style when it was demanded of him.

    Tyson was embarressed in his Prime 3 times and did not show the dispiline to even get sanctioned for bouts.

    There is no comparisison. Lewis is head and shoulders above Tyson, in every way.

    theres no injustice at all. like it's already been explained, once you're a champion in an organisation, you're not ranked in the other three. even if say wladimir lost, and was ranked number one in vitali's organisation, he doesn't have to fight vitali, instead he can go another route, lets say wbo, and go for that champion. a fighter has a choice which route he goes.

    when it comes to legacy, then lewis is above him. lewis gets in the top ten easy, while tyson now struggles to get in some people's top ten.

    what could of been a masterful career for tyson in the end turned out to be quite mediocre when regardeding his age and ability at the time. in the end tyson was the youngest fighter to ever win the heavyweight title, which you hear about all the time, but he was also the youngest fighter to ever lose his heavyweight crown aswell against a fighter he should of beaten with ease.
