Vitali Klitschko, Wladimir Klitschko, Hollyfield, Lewis, Tyson

Who said I was talking about where you rated Lewis?


Anyone who seriously has Tyson at the top of that list, has mental deficiencies.

Therefore your opinion of Lewis is irrelevant. :hi:

 

Prime for Prime Tyson was absolutely the best fighter. I would rank Holyfield and Lewis close with Holyfield above Lewis. The Klitschkos never fought anyone near the caliber of what I consider the upper echelon of the other guys respective divisions, plus they both lost in just about every meaningful fight they were in, regardless of injury. Tyson in his prime blew through everyone, guys like Spinks, Holmes, Tucker, Bruno,Tillis, Stewart, Tubbs, solid technicians. Lewis was KO'd by two of the same level opponents in his prime. Holyfield struggled a bit with guys like Cooper, Holmes, and Stewart.
I rank Holyfield above Lewis strictly off of the Bowe fights, even though he only won one, he was competitive in both, and Lewis never had another great fighter to face off against to show his merit. The closest he got was with guys like Mercer, Bruno, an older Holyfield, all of which he didnt look to good against for the most part.

 

Head-to head, each man prime, on his best night:


Lewis (2000 version)

Tyson (1989 version)

Vitali (2003 version)

Wlad (Today)

Holyfield (1996) version
