    Sorry man, i just don't consider Lennox that great. Lewis was great, but he was a tad below Evander & Mike.

    Despite beating them both ? plus that "draw" against Holyfield was BS, Lennox won that fight clearly.

    I know they're all smiles in the picture but it would've been great to see them fight around that time
     
  9. People forget that they both were always huge fans of each other.

    Holyfield was coming off his victories to Mike Tyson and his fights with Riddick Bowe when he fought Lewis, he wasn't past it at all and people forget that Lewis wasn't at his best when he fought Tyson either.

    They always respected each other and were following each other's careers - Mike Tyson looking on to Evander at ringside when he beat Carlos de Leon and showing appreciation for Holyfield's ability to take punishment against Michael Dokes. Holyfield always with his eye on a shot at Mike but Douglas came in the way... sad that Tyson was nailed by the likes of Desiree Washington and Robin Givens and that Holyfield had serious heart problems after his loss to Michael Moorer. When they met, it was not the same thing... Holyfield had been stopped by Bowe in 95 and Mike didn't have enough rounds in his bag to go the distance or beyond 10 fighting guys like McNeely, Buster Mathis Jr, stopping Bruno in 3 and Bruce Seldon in 1... Even in Oprah's show Mike stated that he wanted to beat Holyfield so bad cause he was such a great fighter.
