    Tyson over Holyfield,

    Lewis over Holyfield

    Lewis over Tyson

    Not an easy task as any of these fights are interchangable as far as who could win goes. Hard to believe I didn't pick Holyfield "the warrior" to win one of these fights.

    I just think a prime tyson would have to much power and speed for Holyfield to handle and since Holyfield would have likely made it a war, I think he would have lost.

    Against Lewis I think it would have unfolded much the same as the two fights we saw.

    Tyson - Lewis is another hard call.

    If Tyson can blow him out in the first couple of rounds, naturally he wins, but if Lewis can hang around, and use his upper cut to discourage and slow Tyson down, then I think he wins. Although Lewis was cautious when they fought, he wasn't scared and in fact he manhandled Tyson during most of the fight and even on the inside he held his own with those uppercuts. So based on all these factors, I'd pick Lewis

    Tyson would beat Holyfield on late round kayo, Lewis on mid round kayo, and Lewis would UD Holyfield.

    Holyield over Tyson...there is a reason Tyson didn't fight Holyfield after the Dokes fight!

    Tyson stop Lewis-

    Holy/Lewis- i would call this 50/50, but if forced to fall off the fence I would take a narrow Holyfield decision.
