Holyfield running away with it.

[General Zod]

Holyfield running away with it.

Holyfield fought the better opposition, but Lewis was more consistent and he retired at the right time. Holyfield went 1-1-5 in 7 fights I believe. Everything he does now only further harms his legacy

I don't get this. His legacy won't suddenly become worse just because he loses a few fights when he is well into his 40's and past prime. I have seen the same thing said about Roy Jones... Hell even if Roy and Evander loses their next 5 fights by first round KO's it still won't take anything away from what they have done before or further harm their legacys.

On topic: Holyfield had the better career because he had the better resume and was also more well known.

[ИATAS]

Holyfield, easily. Lewis retired at the perfect time though.

[street bully]

Holyfield, without question. He was the number one heavyweight of the past generation.
