Better Resume: Lewis or Holyfield?

Vitali Klitschko WBC and RING champion and a million times better than Bowe, would destroy Bowe head to head.

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl:dead

 

what about putting "middle aged" after Holmes and Foreman on Holyfields record?

OR the fact that Holyfield never beat a non American fighter, or never fought as a heavy outside of his own country?

It's easy to pick either guys resume apart really. And anybody that says Holy's losses to Moorer, Lewis, Ruiz etc don't really count because he was past prime, never mention Lewis was pretty much on the slide at age 35 when he lost to Rahman.

 

Your avatar has a resemblance to Jimmy Thunder.

 

Evander "Real Deal" Holyfield

No one would even be arguing this if he didnt continue fighting well past his best. People looking at Win/Lose records should throw out Evander's recent history.

And even though it has nothing at all to do with this topic; Holyfield was a freak at Cruiser.

 

Evander Holyfield...beat greats from CW to HW and had a fair amount of depth (like Lennox) to go along with better top wins. If you rank Lennox higher, it's due to superior consistency and due to H2H standings at HW.

 

Evander wasa great CW but I am curious to know which Great CW he beat?

 

Cw is a shitty division historically, but he beat arguably the 2 best guys behind him from a historical point of view in Qawi and De Leon. De Leon might not have been a "great" fighter, but i would consider Qawi one.

 

Lewis.

I can't believe the poll is even this close.

 

Holyfield beat a better version of tyson and bowe than lewis did.

 

You were on the old boxing.com site? ****, so was I. :good

 

Not in the same league mate. Bowe is way more skilled.

 

I vote apples.

 

How so? Bowe couldn't throw a straight punch if his life depended on it. He was a great inside fighter for a big guy, but Vitali controlled range so much better and didn't need to fight on the inside, hardly anyone ever got inside.

Vitali was the best of the big (6,5+) HW's when it comes to make opponents miss. Bowe was quite hittable. Vitali would have never eaten shot after shot from Golota. Just becaue Vitali looks awkward and moves like some kind of mechanical equipment that doesn't mean he is not skilled.
