That's a question. Yes, Holyfield was past prime at 37, but most people rank him higher overall. Though Vitali can be Lewis' #1 win, too
Prime for prime Holyfield might be favoured to find a way to out-hit Vitali, but past his prime he's in horrible trouble...Vitali was in his prime for Lewis, and may be the best fighter he beat either way. But Holyfield is great, so yeah. But no. If you see what I mean. Yeah but no but yeah.
I'd put Holyfield above Vitali. Past his best for sure but he was actually pretty good in the second fight with Lewis. Vitali's stock has risen dramatically since 2003.
Pinklon Thomas was washed-up badly when he faced Riddick Bowe. A punch bag. I'd say Jorge Luis Gonzalez, Larry Donald, Pierre Coetzer, Tyrell Biggs, Herbie Hide, even Jesse Ferguson.
If we're talking head to head, prime Vitali is a beter scalp than prime Holy. If you factor in the stage of Holy's career, then it's not close.
