Tyson, Holyfield,

Tyson was not the same size as Dempsey and Holyfield never dominated the division.

[Joe2608]

Size difference was way too big and Lewis is too intelligent.

Tyson was not the same size as Dempsey and Holyfield never dominated the division.

Dempsey was taller than Tyson, Holyfield was undisputed heavyweight champion of the world 1990-92

[StarshipTrooper]

As per usual this is turning into a war between the size whores on one side and everyone else on the other

2" taller and about 25lbs of muscle lighter. Holyfield's run from 90-92 encompassed wins over Douglas, Cooper, Foreman and Holmes, who were hardly terrors of the division. He was dominant at cruiser but not heavy, where he was always hot and cold. His record against the best superheavies he faced, Bowe and Lewis, is 1-3-1. Not exactly inspiring.

There have always been big men in the heavyweight division and the All-Time greats fought them with success. Jack Johnson fought a whole string of very big "great white hopes" before finally losing to 6' 6 ¼" Jess Willard. And Johnson was much past his prime.

Blah Blah Blah, by your theory Carl Froch would be able to beat Lewis lmao

Yes Lewis was a big man, but he was a big man with Skill.

TOLEDO, Ohio, July 5,-In the first statement he has made since becoming the heavyweight champion of the world.Jack Dempsey announced today that he will draw the color line. He will pay no attention to negro challengers, but will defend his title against any white heavyweight as the occasion demands.Dempsey said tonight that he would not fight against for seven or eight months at least.

Dempsey says that when he has finished his proposed theatrical engagments he will take on anyone who wants to challenge for the title. He will follow the demands of the sporting public in his fights, for he does not believe in disappointing the people who pay for the game.

His statement that he has drawn the color line means that Jack will pay no attention to any challenges which might come from Harry Wills, who is just now the king-pin of the black heavyweights.
