I used to hate Evander. When he fought Lewis I wanted Lennox to punch his brains out the back of his skull...
But now, I respect him more than a lot of fighters out there, especially Tyson.
You can say Tyson had the power and Lennox had the physical gifts(height, reach) and the boxing abilities could go to both men. But one thing that seperates Holy from them is his HEART. When Mike was faced with any adversity, he folded. He resorted to some of the most digraceful tactics the sport has EVER seen.
Evander is still trying to fight today. Mike said himself that his heart's not in it anymore and hasn't been for a while. That's how Mike reacts to losing. Meanwhile, Holy suffered some embarassing defeats recently, and STILL wants to continue because he loves the sport.
I will have to go with Lennox , he beat both Tyson and Holyfield granted not when they were at there best but also out of his 2 losses he came back and avenged them both in spectacular fashion not many fighters can say that.
