    Holyfield, but he was a PED freak, so **** him.

    I think Holyfields Crusierweight CV edges it.

    This is surprisingly one sided.

    I certainly WOULD say it was close!

    Lewis fought a whos who of fighters in the heavyweight division in the 90s and early 00's
    The only one he didnt fight was Bowe and Bowe ducked him.

    Holyfield(2)
    Ruddock
    Morrison
    Golota
    Bruno
    Tua
    Rahman(2)
    Klitshko
    Briggs
    Akinwande
    Tyson(even if he was past his best)

    Its a pretty exceptional record.

    Whether its better than Holyfield...debateble

    Holyfield, without a doubt.

    Whether he was a cheater is another thing.

    If you put who they beat resume it is Lewis, but overall resume and the names on it then Holyfield. Who didn't Holyfield fight? Tua and the Klitchkos? That is all I can come up with.
