Who had the better career? Larry Holmes or Lennox Lewis

Lewis at the end of his career weighing the heaviest he's ever been in a fight stopped the man his detractors propped up to beat him in 6 rounds going into retirement on top as the king of heavyweight boxing. I give my vote to Lewis.

Holmes but I liked Lewis more.

Holmes ,he was king of HW devison in 70s and mid 80s

Holmes easily! Stopped ONCE in 65 bouts by a true puncher. (Tyson) Lewis stopped twice once by McCall who Holmes fought at the same time in a competitive fight as a veteran fighter. Hasim blows out Lewis and he has been stopped 6 times!!! I like Lewis but he didn't fight the same caliber of fighters that Holmes fought. 65 pro fights for Larry compared to 44 from Lewis is a huge difference for me. Both tough rugged guys who showed heart and willingness. I prefer to watch Holmes over Lewis. Ray

Not many heavyweights can claim Undisputed and Lennox love him or hate him held that decisively. Larry Holmes all the way! The fact that Lennox was undisputed don't mean a thing. Let me teach you history of the Hvywgt division. When Leon Spinks won the tile from Ali, he was to the defend his title to ken Norton. In refusing to do so he was strip of the WBC title. See back in the days you had to win the title in the ring. So Norton had to fight Holmes for the vacant title. Holmes wins the title & the rest is history. Holmes whipped everyones Arse including Mike Weaver, who then becomes WBA champion after Holmes had already whipped him. Then Gerry Gotzee becomes the WBA champion & holmes refuses to fight him because of apartied. That is why Holmes was not the undisputed champion. But make no mistake about it, he was the real Heavywgt Champion of the world!

Lennox and it aint even close

Lennox Lewis by far, fought and beat better fighters than Larry Holmes. Lewis on his best day is without any doubt the hardest heavyweight to beat in the history of the sport. Maybe he wasn't as skilled as Larry Holmes, but he was very strong physically and he was very smart to utilize that strength, he'D always find a way to neutralize any type of fighter. Both had great jabs though which seperated them from the rest in their respective eras.
