    Holyfield's resume is on the short list.

        I don't think Louis' resume is better than Holyfield.

        Charles most definitely not at HW.

          Holyfield probably has the second best resume of all times. It's hard to pick anyone in particular other than Ali who definitely has a better one I'd say.

            Holmes is a very good shout, sadly he came about at a time when the division was fading but no denying his skill set, just top drawer.
            For their era, there's a few that rank higher than Evander. Mostly because Evander was never a truly dominant heavyweight champion who also has great opponents.

            But you can never doubt his resume. It's absolutely top notch.

              We don't agree on much but I've always respected your boxing knowledge. I agree with you here. Evander's resume is right there with Ali's resume.

They will rubbish Holyfield & Muhammad Ali's resume, while claiming Razor Ruddock, David Tua & Tommy Morrison as superior fighters to any fighter on Ali or Holyfield's resume...So i am going to get in on this thread before those "Lewis Rimmer's"... here we go with Lewis resume and Mike Tyson's resume.

                  Holyfield ~ Lewis unfortunate to only get draw. Holyfield robbed in rematch
                  Vitali ~ Lewis very fortunate to come away with victory
                  Grant ~ Class C fighter who had been exposed by Golota
                  Tua ~ Fattest man to ever fight for title, fatter than Two-Ton Galento.
                  Rahman ~ mediocre journeyman who poleaxed Lewis.
                  Golota ~ Steroid freak who never beat a Top 30 fighter
                  McCall ~ mediocre journeyman who poleaxed Lewis. "Drug Addict"
                  Botha ~ Steroid freak Class C fighter
                  Morrison ~ HIV coming off one round KO loss to one Michael Bent
                  Bruno ~ Gave Lewis a lesson in boxing & Jabbing, past best
                  Mercer ~ limited fighter who was schooled by 42yr old Holmes
                  Mavrovic ~ Who?.. very limited European Class C fighter
                  Tucker ~ Drug addict who looked terrible
                  Butler ~ Class C fighter with as many losses as wins on record
                  Fortune ~ who?
                  Akinwande ~ Pathetic
                  Jackson ~ who?
                  Briggs ~ Steroid freak, exposed by journeyman Marion Wilson KO3
                  Tyson ~ Ex Champion who was more than a decade past his best. Drug addict, addicted to prescription anti-depressants, alcohol, ******* & cannabis. a zombie compared to 16yrs previous.


                  Mike Tyson resume..

                  Holmes ~ former champ who went 23-3 after loss (3 title fights)
                  Berbick ~ reigning champion
                  Tucker ~ reigning champion
                  Bruno x2 ~ reigning champion
                  Seldon ~ reigning champion
                  Thomas ~ former champion 29-1
                  Smith ~ reigning champion
                  Biggs ~ undefeated Olympic champion
                  Tubbs ~ former champion 24-1
                  Spinks ~ reigning undefeated champion
                  Williams ~ former title challenger
                  Douglas ~ former title challenger
                  Holyfield x2 ~ former and current undisputed champion

                  Lewis resume clearly inferior to Mike Tyson's resume.
                  Hahaha so so full of **** it hurts! Lennox Lewis is a top 5 heavyweight of all times, Tyson possibly could just make the top 10, just!

                    I did and no one but yourself interjected Lewis into the conversation while complementary comments to both ali and Evander are put forth. I believe one poster defended Lewis after your biased post without attacking either Evander or ali

                      That's pretty much my take on it.
