    I have gone for De La Hoya as they are all top names on his resume.

    Oscar by a country mile. Just prime Floyd and prime Pacman are enough to obliterate Holyfield's resume.

    You have to understand that post-prison Tyson is not prime Tyson.

    Lennox fought all his best opponents past their primes, except for Vitali who was beating him up until the lucky cut.

    You reckon Tua, Rahman and Bruno were past prime?

    its close between Evander and Lennox

    Oscar is by far the worst. Lost or gifted in all of his big fights outside of Tito

    Camacho was average and Chavez was washed up

    resume depth is determined by BOTH WINS AND LOSSES

    .........then how on earth is Lewis the one who takes it?

    Lennox has a very good resume overall, but he's fourth out of four in this lineup for me.

    How would Lewis come out ahead?

    DLH faced prime versions of Pacquiao, Mayweather, Mosley, and Trinidad. 4 HOFers, two of whom are usually rated as the top 2 fighters of the new millennium. He faced an ATG in Hopkins when he was rated at the top of the p4p rankings. He faced undefeated Quartey. He faced Whitaker when he was the lineal WW champ and still highly rated on the p4p rankings.

    Holyfield faced Riddick Bowe 3x, Lewis 2x, Tyson 2x (post-prison, but still much better than the Tyson of 02' that Lewis faced). After a dozen pro fights, he faced Dwight Qawi. And fought him again a year later.

    What did Lewis do to be ahead of them? Bringing up wins AND losses doesn't help Lewis's case, if anything, it weakens his case. He lost to Hasim Rahman and Oliver McCall. DLH lost to HOFers and ATGs.
