    I wasn't talking about Holyfields condition, I was talking about Tyson. Holyfield was dismissed yeah but it turned out he was as good as he'd ever been in those 2 fights.

    Your kidding right? Who has Lewis fought?? Briggs, Akinwande, Tua, Morrison?? Cmon, not even close to Holy's competition. Lewis will always be rated behind Holyfield in the record books. His competition was b- minus level at best, and just like Holy beat an old Foreman and Holmes, Lewis beat an old Tyson and Holyfield, and I wouldnt rate his wins over Holyfield that spectacular, or the disinterested pot smoking Hawaii training Tyson. Who trains for a fight in Hawaii and smokes pot the whole time, only Tyson...

    Who did Holyfield fight that was better than Briggs, Akinwande, Tua, Morrison (as you put it)??

    Bert Cooper?? :rofl Michael Moorer?? :rofl :rofl

    You wouldn't rate Lewis's wins over Holy as being spectacular, fair enough cos they weren't spectacular - but Lewis owned Holy in the first fight, and fought him at his own game in the 2nd fight, got butted several times (surprise surprise) and still won comfortably :deal

    Lewis is considerably greater than Holyfield.

    He'll come back with his usual line which is something along the lines of 'no other heavyweight champion ever got stopped in the 2nd round to Oliver McCall and in the 5th round to Hasim Rahman in a title fight EVER, which means Holy is better than Lewis' :nut :nut :nut

    It's always carefully worded to say 'early rounds' and 'title fight', for obvious reasons :yep

    I doubt it. Bowe was afraid of Lewis. He would have been afraid of Klitschko too, two handed KO power. I think WK would have ripped him much, much worse than Golota did, even a prime Bowe.

    Lewis' great competition that he established his legacy with went on to accomplish what in the division, compared to Holyfields????? Thats the best way to judge it. :hi:
    Akinwande trash collector
    Tua professional eater
    Briggs, great asthma champ
    Grant, cab driver
    Ruddock professional spleef roller
    Golota, starring in the silence of the lambs II
    the list goes on and on

    What a tactician Bowe was!

    I wonder if he would have tried the same method against Lewis
    'Get your opponent to repeatedly beat the living **** out of you to such a degree that inevitably they will be hitting you with low blows or gas out.

    This one style of fighting Bowe had only seemed to work well against blown up cruiserweights.
