Holyfield will always be better than Lewis and Wlad

George Foreman said he thinks Lewis was better than all of them including Ali LOL.
Out of those you mention Joe Frazier would give Lennox most problems

 

Well Foreman seemed to think Lennox had a better career when he called him the greatest HW of all time. (I don't agree but he's top 3-5 for me)

 

I think he outboxes Frazier at range 8 times out of 10 and gets starched the other 2. Prime Holmes would have been very interesting too IMO.

 

I'd rate Holyfield above Wlad and Lewis at HW.

And pound-for-pound it's not even up for debate.

 

Ya I do think that and so does George apparently.

 

Damn, it's crazy that you say that because no he won't.

 

After losing to Lewis twice that's quite a statement :rofl

 

The thing for me is Lewis only beat Grant, Botha and tua before he lost to Rahman, all complete bums, I give him props for his win over Vitali, but Tyson was long, long she'll of his former self. The fact Lewis chased tyson for a rematch says a lot about his character. His reign was anything but dominant, but few champions have consistently fought the best opposition. Holy"s rein looked far better once Bowe became champion.
I think, we as fans, often inflate a fights worth after retirement. Lewis head to head would most likely be very competitive with any heavyweight in history. All fighters have ups and downs, good and bad fights.
I think Lewis is as guilty as bowe for them never fighting. Say what you want, but for those of you old enough to have been following the sport at the time, would know Bowe's team offered Lewis a pretty low ball offer to fight, which in effect would have been next to nothing for Lewis. Whether right or not, if he was that confident he could of accepted the offer. It was a **** situation, but WE as the viewing public missed out, and team bowe is the more guilty party. I think had that fight taken place, a lot of these arguments would never have happened. One last side note, no one here knows with any certainty that holy ever juiced, or if Lewis or Wlad's has ever taken any substances. Those comments only highlight the posters ignorance.

Given his cruiserweight achievements I have Holyfield ahead.

 

Winning 2 rounds is competitive now?

 

holyfield is above both of them legacy wise. just take a look at the people holyfield fought and beat at heavyweight, douglas, tyson, moorer, foreman, mercer, etc. not even taking into account holyfield's campaign at cruiserweight. then you can talk about how lewis and wlad were brutally stopped by people they were supposedly going to destroy.
