Who do you rate higher as an ATG: Tyson, Lewis or Holyfield?

Tyson was the best H2H, in his prime, IMO.

Lewis did the best work as a heavyweight.

Holyfield would rank highest including his cruiserweight run.

 

A bit harsh on Holyfield, no? Then again, i take it there's not much "amount of greatness" between the #8 and the #13 as the spaces between them suggest? I my list there is not that much between them after #4 anyway....





On the topic, i'd have it:

1. Lewis
2. Holyfield/Tyson (tie)

 

Lewis has the best resume. Tyson was the most dominant when he was young. Holyfield was the most skilled and best at Cruiserweight. Answer: Lennox Lewis.

 

H2H- Lewis
Complete Career- Holyfield
Cannibal tendencies- Tyson

 

What about it?

 

I want Ricky to spark that tiny Philipeno man.

What about you?

 

It depends on your criteria of course. Personally i'm not sure if i'd have Johnson as high as #6 considering his weak opposition, though his historic achievements are tremendous. I also think Holyfield definitely belongs higher than Jeffries, and perhaps Foreman (by a shade or more).

As for Tyson/Holyfield, it's tough because Tyson was extremely dominant, but suffers in longetivity and Holyfield beat him in convincing fashion when they were at a similar stage of their career, twice.

Thanks. Every now and then i get a sudden, deep interest in a particular subject, right now it's battleships. Reading about the Bismarck is great.

 

Holyfield !!

The man fought everyone !!
