    the best heavyweights of the 90s but who was the best????

    i say holyfield because he beat better fighter at better times in thier career's

    i also think the best evander holyfield beats the best lennox lewis by late knockout or most likely points 116-112

    holyfield fought everybody foreman , holmes from the previous era , bowe x3 , moorer x2 , mercer , tyson x2 , lewis x 2...they were his best opponents.

    lewis fought ruddock, tucker , bruno , mccall x2 , rahman x2 , golata , briggs , klitscko , tyson and holyfield x2


    2 good sets of opponents but holyfields was better as i said at the time of fighting them. Evander also hasnt got the stain of being knocked out while at the top by 2 big underdogs , by 1 punch knockouts.

    both are great fighters holyfield is a top 10 , lewis is just outside top 10 in all time rankings

    1, ali
    2, louis
    3, johnson
    4, marciano
    5, holmes
    6, foreman
    7, frazier

    Lewis a better hw. Holyfield better p4p.

    Specifically during the 90's I say it's hard to split who the best hw was but i'd edge holyfield.
