Holyfield hands down .. I mean 3 of the best fight with Bowe at heavy ,his comeback performance against Moore,his fight with George Foreman and Larry Holmes ,how he shocked the world and beat Tyson..I mean really who had a better body of work ? LL fought most.y all of Holyfield's left overs .
Well there are 100 boxing journalitss that agree with me about Lummox Lewis so go argue with them. Tua was a ranked contender for a while and in good shape at 225 pounds. Look it up. Lewis only fights Tua when Tua balloons to 245-250. Lewis has a better resume? Lummox Lewis fought a mere 44 fights. Compared to the greats,that's hardly a boxing career. Tyson beat Prime Tony Tucker,Mike Spinks,Trevor Berbick,Razor Ruddock,Frank Bruno, Holmes beat Norton,Cooney,Shavers Lummox beat old fat drug addict Tucker,Old washed up drug addict Tyson,old Holyfield,old Ray Mercer,drug addict HIV positive Morrison etc Lummox has no legacy. And you asked if I stalk fighters and perform services for them? No but I did do some research. It just seems like a strange coincedence that most of Lewis opponents were at great disadvantages when he chose to fight them.
Exactly. I'm surprised the Lummox didnt get to Ali! Lummox vs wheelchair bound Ali is a 50/50 fight! If old man Ali connects with that famous glass jaw it's KO!
Of course. But everyone in the boxing world, almost to a man, wanted to see it in a year you are saying it shouldn't have happened. Deluded. i'm not arguing these things, I'm saying that you can find detailed, documented "articles" that say they are true. There is a whole book about Liston diving to Ali. It's called Night Train. It's the kind of thing you'd be on here spouting verbatim if Ali was the focus of your obsession rather than Lewis. That's...more stupidity, really. Tua was fighting for the International WBC belt the last time he was 225lbs. Then he got beaten by Ibeabuchi (16-0). Tua would see 225lbs one more time - in beating Rahman - the fight that rehabilitated him as a contender. Only after his victory over Rahman was Tua anything like in Lewis territory. And Lewis spanked him within two years. It is literally impossible for me to see this fight coming off at any other time. Ridiculous. He's a two-time HW champion of the world, beat every man he ever faced, beat more contenders than all but a handful of heavyweights and is a lock on most top 10 HW lists on this forum. His legacy is airtight. What is Carloz Zarate's? What is Mike Tyson's? What is Midget Wolgast's? Beating the #2 HW in the world always "means something." What is wrong with you?

Did Steward love Wlad more than Lewis? If I read this post it seems the answer is yes. Though I think/know Steward loved Hearns the most. (no homo) Other trainer who really loved his boxer was Norman Stone. He was a pretty good trainer too and his fighters were never cold/stale but always a bit sweaty when they entered the ring.

Stop talking **** Steward RIP, WOULD say that wouldnt he? Same Steward who was sucking Tysons **** after the fight Lewis himself admitted when he sparred tyson that he hoped never to face this guy because he was an animal Lewis/Tyson HBO Documentary.
Manny Calzaghe No one else comes close. You can say Floyd but he was never built up from it like the above mentioned.
I just want to thank JeanPaulValley for brutally owning McGrain. What a savage beating, McGrain should exit this site in shame.
