    As a Heavyweight I would go with Lennox, P4P with Holyfield. But Prime Lewis vs Prime Holyfield at heavyweight would be Lewis so I vote Lewis.

    Have you ever seen Holyfield or Tyson fight in their primes?? If you think Lewis is the best then that is fair enough, he is the best hw of those 4 IMO, but to say it's not even close is just silly. A well past-prime Holyfield pushed a near-prime Lewis pretty close.

    Lewis in his prime, won a controversial decision against an over the hill Holyfield who had clearly been on the slide. Can you explain to me how then, prime for prime isn't even close?:think

    I agree. Lewis is a better hw, but Holyfield's prime was at cruiser, and I think he was a better cruiser than Lewis was a heavy.

    :rofl So you are certain that was a "prime" Lewis, he was at his best? And Holyfield was "over the hill" or just a little past his best? And where do you get off calling that victory "controversial" dude? :patsch

    Is your real name Eugenia Williams? :lol:

    Seriously.....

    I scored the first fight 118-110 - could make a case for 117-111 though
    I scored the second fight 116-112 - but a clear win for Lennox
