Tyson, Holyfield and Lewis.

[The Surgeon]

Lewis for me personally is the lesser fighter of these three but he does have a great case for being the numero uno but bringing up his bouts with a Holyfield clearly on the slide and a shot to utter ***** Tyson is not the way to make his case

I find Zags to be very amusing lately. I'm not being condescending, he legitimately entertains me with the posts that he makes. The fact that he refuses or fails to see the idiocy of his statements makes it comical to me.

Ye i get that,similar too the way Sonnyboys obsessive hatred for Lewis became comical very quickly,it seems Joeys nuthuggery of the same fighter has done the same

Comparing the likes of Sonny to Zags because of your nationalistic love for Lewis... Comical!

Sonny was an objective fan with no nationalistic bias who was not afraid to recall things as they were.

Don't play that card, your purposefully picking a fight, just leave it...

Yes, he objectively discarded every single win on Lennox's resume.:thinking1:

The funny thing was, he would argue to the ends of the earth that Lewis was not a top 10 ATG HW. When asked where he would place Lewis, "oh about 12th." Kinda of like a guy saying fighter X was robbed, and you ask them their score, "oh 115-113."

Good thread though, one or two of these guys could interchangeably be used in any top 10 ATG HW list, depending on what you place more emphasis on.

what is amusing about this thread is how Lewis is ahead in the pole yet not once has any voter posted why they think he is superior to Tyson or Holyfield with the reason for that being that there is no case to be made for putting him ahead of those two otherwise they would have done it..

Lewis is ahead because not one person can make a solid argument AGAINST him. All they can do is comment on the poor condition of Holyfield(99) and Tyson(02), But that is a knock on those fighters, not Lennox himself.

If anything it further proves Lennox's superiority that he can perform beyond 36 after being brutally Ko'd twice. Tyson gets KO'd once and his career is effectively over.


As for Evander Holyfield, I have no idea when his prime was? Is it when he lost a clear cut decision against Bowe? or is it when he was suffering from health problems in 94-95?

Dr. Margaret Goodman, chairman of the medical advisory board of Nevada Athletic Commission, says that as early as 1994, when Holyfield fought Michael Moorer and suffered heart problems, the medical arm of the Commission questioned Holyfield about possible HGH use. "There were questions [because] the abnormalities Evander had with his heart were findings that could have been consistent with growth hormone use. The problem was there was no test and Evander denied any use of growth hormone."

Holyfield was a lot healthier IMO when he started taking safer drugs in the late 90's and 2000's. I believe Lennox beats the sick Holyfield, the Holyfield that lost to Bowe, as well as the old one from 99.

Weight gain is not a good indicator for roid use. Jess WIllard and Buddy Baer were 220's in their careers and blew up to 250 in a short amount of time. Both had similar frames to Lennox and that was before designer drugs.

Roid users will usually have mysterious injuries and peculiar health problems: (Evander Holyfield, Vitali Klitschko, Shannon Briggs, Tommy Morrison) all fit this description. All confirmed users.

Good poll, will be interesting to see the results. Tyson beats Lewis and would beat Holyfield although I am not so sure of him beating Holyfield. I think Holyfield beats Lewis.

But they never did ...did they
