    I picked Tyson over Lewis based on my dislike for Lewis, which stems from him beating up past prime and shot versions of Tyson and Holyfield. He had the most successful career, cant deny that, but I'm looking through rose tinted glasses and taking a prime version of each and their respective achievements.

    Overall it's Lewis, but Tyson's star shined brighter in their respective primes... it also burnt out the fastest lol

    Taking the lot into account i've got Hollyfield ahead by some distance. He's the greatest 200lb fighter of all time, he's a lock for my top 15 at HW, he's a few slots ahead on my p4p list.

    I have Lewis ahead of Tyson.

    That's me voted. I find it astonishing that Hollyfield is LAST taking into account his Cruiserweight run.

    He is #1 in one division and not that far behind the other two as a HW - so why would anyone vote for the other two is my question?

    Lewis. Reigned longer, has fewer losses, beat both of them, held and defended the belt more times, and has better level of opposition.

    Lennox is the best. I have him 6 on the list of top 10 heavyweights and H2H, the man is probably the best. Hell of a fighter.

    The poll is a joke. Holyfield, who should be in first place P4P with his Cruiserweight run taken into consideration, is in last. Comical. Only in the General Forum.

    Sure Lewis, and Holy have the better records but the impact of Tyson for a short spell was like absolute nothing I have seen. I voted Iron Mike (I couldn't resist) - he seemed indestructible for a short while, and would give any heavy a good match up.

    On achievement only - Holy, Lewis... then last Mike.
