      That's very debatable. Plus, Lennox has two wins over Holyfield.

      Foreman's and Lewis' resumes are comparable. Lennox was the top HW for a longer time, and avenged all his losses, something Foreman didn't do. And lastly, Lewis would kick Foreman's ass.

        I see people arguing in the case of Holyfield being better than him but Holyfield's losses are much more costly IMO because of they way he lost. Lewis lost because he wasn't fit, and he paid the price he came back he he proved on his best day he is better than those fighters.

        I don't think I can definitively say that Holyfield is better than the guys he lost to, in terms of resume he's better than Bowe and should be ranked above him but is he a better fighter? debatable but I can give Holyfield that one, when Evander lost to Lewis I think he was in with a fighter who was better than him with a comparable resume and he lost twice (draw was BS.)

        Evanders resume holds Tysonx2, Bowe (once, lost twice), Moorer, Foreman, Ruiz, Rahman, Mercer, Holmes (old), Douglas. (I'm not going to rate his CW resume)

        I can see people placing Foreman, Ali, Louis and Holmes above Lennox but I don't see the logic in Holyfield. He achieve alot for being a small HW and is a top 10 HW but I don't see him above Lewis
