    I'm telling you Zak: I watched a video with Riddick Bowe flat-out saying that he had no interest in fighting Lewis back then. I wish I could remember the show/video because it wasn't that long ago.

    Holyfield has lost, but several of those are by disputed decision (Moorer! Ruiz! :patsch), and most were late in his career, after his skills had faded. He was beaten only twice in his prime, and that was by the near-great Riddick Bowe. It's not like he was taken out early twice by B level fighters in the heart of his career, when he held the title. AND he fought the top guys in the era when it MATTERED.

    In terms of accomplishments, he's not only greater than Tyson and Lewis, he's CLEARLY greater.:yep

    your out of control, Lewis avenged his only 2 loses which were flukes and should have retired undefeated.And should have beat Holyfield both times.And Holyfield doesn't get a free pass beacause he was a "faded" version it's not Lewis's fault that he fought at a high level till 38. That's a part of greatness.

    And Zak, while Tyson is not better than Holyfield or Lewis in the 90's, early 00's era, and anyone who says it would be moronic, his run in the 80's still blows out what Lewis did in the 90's just by the sheer, brutal domination over a variety of nearly equivalent crop of fighters. I give Lewis the slight edge in comp. over Tyson, but many of the modern fans don't remember how good a guy like a prime Tucker was either, easily superior to one of Lewis' best wins in Golota and on par with Mercer...

    1. Holyfield
    2. Tyson
    3. Lewis


    If you had to rank the 3 solely, Lewis comes in third everytime.

    Great minds think alike.:lol:

    I was actually glorifying you're favourite Tyson right there, clearly showing him as the best of the 80's and certainly above Lennox Lewis in an all time ranking.
