    I'm confused, in what way? :think

    Too close, to wide?

    IMO Naz has CLEARLY the better legacy.

    I'm amazed by that poll.

    I thought Naz by a mile. Too wide.

    I'm not a big Naz fan or Joe fan

    I think the issue was people judging legacy strictly and soley on achivements inside the ring. There impact on the sport wasn't even comprable - That is as much part of a legacy as anything, IMO.

    Very strange when i think of Naz - Power punching multi weight entertainer

    Joe Calzaghe - Solid volume puncher with a questionable record

    Both didn't go as far as i thought they could but Naz proved more to me in a more stylish way

    This is a reasonable post. I picked Holyfield in terms of comp fought, but in terms of who won at heavyweight, which to me is a different question, I'd pick Lewis. Holyfield to me fought the better comp if CW comp is considered and I'd also consider Holyfield a better P4P fighter.
