Of these 3 prime for prime who was best.

Talent wise probably Lennox Lewis. He knew how to used his height. He has a very good jab to keep his opponent away. But if they fought each other during their prime. I would pick tyson to beat them all. Tyson was a beast back in the 80's. Lewis reach advantage would not matter back then cuz tyson would still get in and land a big punch to knockout lewis.

 

All round you say?

Well Tyson is his prime looked indestructible, but taking into account the all-round part, I'd say Lewis aswell.

I mean he had the skills and mobility to box, and the size and power to punch.

 

Prime for Prime.... pd 4 pd... Evander Holyfield.

 

I voted Iron Mike but the more I think about I would have to say Holy.

 

Lewis, Prime for prime he would beat any of those 3, as long as he didnt get caught with a lucky punch.

 

mIKE tYSON

 

Lennox Lewis

 

this is a great thread...all 4 brought dif skills to the table...I will have to take lewis...he has never been beaten without avenging it...he beat holy twice

 

Lennox was the best fighter in a literal sense, the best heavyweight...Holy was p4p the best seeing he was so good at cruiser and a small heavyweight.

 

Evander "Real Deal" Holyfield. He didn't necessarily have the same natural ability, but he had the heart, guts and will to win.

 

Lewis clearly

He owned Holyfield twice and beat Tyson (albeit a shot version, but Lennox was past peak as well) whilst Bowe ran away like a little ***** after getting iced in the Olympic final

His resume is as good if not better than all the others, and avenged all his defeats

He also got out at the right time as well

 

WAY to many votes for the Iron Myth.

LL was the better heavy out of those for.

 

Great thread. It's very close between all 4, but I go with Holyfield narrowly over Lewis with Tyson 3rd.

 

Bowe's resume is awful by comparison though!
