    Style wise, Lennox is probably on a par with today's heavyweights. Tyson might get easily outboxed by today's top heavyweights, they seem technically a lot better than those of his generation. Holyfield was never really a heavyweight, and a bit throwback. Also the days of the blubberweights are pretty much over (exception of Andy Ruiz of course), so hard to compare like for like in terms of resumes

        Lewis was super heavyweight. So, yes he was modern HW in today's standards. Tyson was midget and small. He was skill machine. Holyfield was CW at his prime. He was small too.
