The 90s was such a dead era for HW boxing, unlike now, "Are you not entertained?" Daniel Dubois, the greatest era of all time.
Holyfield did not fight Tyson, he fought the shell of Tyson twice. When Holyfield fought Lewis, he himselfwas so far past his best it wasn't worthwhile. Two wasted fights to hype up Jamaica's Lewis. That he won 2, yes, 2, of his next 7 fights tells its own story. Holyfield vs Bowe 1, Holyfield was a CW, and a pretty small one, fighting a big bully in Bowe. The rematch should have been stopped when a hang glider crash landed in the ring, causing a 21 minute delay, so that doesn't count, the 3rd fight Bowe was old and on a bad decline.
Lewis beat the shell of Tyson, Bowe fought nobody else except Holyfield 100 times and binned his belt to avoid Jamaica's finest. Mike Tyson's best win was over Michael Spinks, who walked around at about 11 stone wet. This era was terrible. Then to top it off, Vitali gives Lewis a pasting, only to succomb to a very unfortunate cut, and the ref made him stop despite him wanting to continue. Lewis ran away from the rematch which says it all.
Golota, a man no better than Dave Allen destroyed Bowe twice. Lewis got knocked out by two average fighters. Tyson and Holyfield both lost a ton. No great fights between any of them, all past prime, except for when undersized Holyfield fought Bowe the first time. Nash out - His Excellency
