In what order do u have Holyfield, Lewis, and Tyson on ur ATG list?

Untrue.

Rumsfeld did this a while back.

:good

 

I pick Lewis of Golota\Briggs fights over any tyson.

 

I agree. I wasn't a huge fan, but there is still an aura surrounding Tyson. After all, he was the "baddest man on the planet." Holyfield and Lewis were certainly great champions, but its simply not the same. Tyson was what most of us want from a heavyweight champ. He was crazy, he was brutal and he took no prisoner. Why do you think Jack Dempsey was such a celebrated figure. Even though he lost to Tuney (the boxer) twice, he was the first real savage, ungentlemenly fighter. He went in there to knock your head off, not to beat you on the cards.

 

Really...you don't think a prime Tyson would have done the same thing to both Briggs and Golota. Not to mention the fact that Lewis didn't look so hot in the Briggs fight. He was hurt several times. atsch

 

Both in an all time sense and H2H

Lewis
Holyfield

Tyson

Tyson just wasn't as good as Lewis or Holyfield, or rather.... he didn't beat sufficient opposition to prove it.

 

And Lewis did?

 

He was in control at all times. Lewis-Briggs one of my favorite fight all time. He was in control and waiting for opportunity. Briggs was able to hurt him with rabbit punches though.

 

i think lewis will go down the greatest of these 3 in time. not yet. it took larry holmes a long time too to get aknowledgement.

 

In my humble opinion, Tyson would have shot through Briggs like **** through a goose. It would have been over for nervous Shannon in about a round, two at the most.

 

Who on Tyson's record is as good as Vitali and Holyfield?

 

Tyson

Michael Spinks beat Holmes twice and he beat Cooney and a number of other top contender. And no, he was not over the hill when Tyson fought him. He was only 31. Was he better than Holyfield, no. But he was arguably better than anyone Holy ever beat at heavy. I say arguable becuase there is Riddick Bowe. But Spinks record was better than Bowe's.

 

Lewis
Hollyfield
Tyson

 

So a guy who had 5 fights at Heavy beating a 35 year old Holmes x2 is better than Holyfield and Vitali is he?

ok.....

 

Old Holyfield, you mean? Yeah the same Holyfield that went life and death with John Ruiz right after the Lewis fight. Old Holmes and Spinks would be my answer
Who on Vitalis record is better than Razor Ruddock, Tony Tubbs, Tony Tucker, Pinklon Thomas, and Frank Bruno old Larry Holmes and Mike Spinks? :blood
