Better Resume: Lewis or Holyfield?

Better overall resume: Holy
Better HW resume: Lennox

 

If you'd have asked me 5 years ago I would had to really think about this. I'm plumping for Lewis because he dominated HW for a long time in an era of good champions and contenders. Add to that the fact that he avenged his only two losses and got out of the sport at the right time- something Holyfield hasn't done.

 

Lewis in my opinion.

 

Lewis for me... beating Bowe (a guy Lewis KO'd in the olympics who after fighting holyfield got smashed about by Golota who in turn got beaten about like a ginger step child by Lewis) once whilst losing to him twice and beating a post prison Tyson doesn't beat Lewis's resume. Lewis beat Holyfield twice, avenged his 2 only losses which were results of 2 big punches unlike Holyfield who had been outboxed in his career several times. It is also not Lewis's fault that both Tyson and Bowe chose to either pay Lewis off to step aside or throw their titles in the bin just to avoid him.

In my opinion Holyfield probably tips the scales with accomplishments whilst Lewis wins on resume for me... too many unavenged loses on Holyfields resume and the level of competition is fairly even

 

Vitali never saw anything close to what Bowe would be bringing. Bowe brought the heat much harder than Lewis, plus once he got inside he would have busted up Vitali a lot quicker. Bowe easy mid rounds KO.

 

Bowe was also much much easier outboxed than Lewis. I fear you are really overrating Bowe in this thread man

 

Who easily outboxed him?? He lost once to Evander Holyfield. The fights with Golota he was basically a walking corpse. I believe you are underating Bowes ability.

 

Well who else did he fight that was worth a damn??

Holy and Golota are as good as his resume gets.

 

Finally this poll has come to reason, Bowe is overrated and anyway Lewis beat him at the olympics. Lewis got the best resume.

 

I really dont think much of Bowe, struggling with the limited Golota and beating ex-cruiserweight seem to be his only clame to fame.

 

Don't forget herbie hide

 

It has to be Evander. He has one of the least padded records of any fighter. Lennox's resume is good on paper but it doesn't tell the whole story in some spots.
