    Who had a better career Lennox Lewis or Evander Holyfield?

    Who had a better career Lennox Lewis or Evander Holyfield? I have been watching previous fights of them the last few days and even watched their fight against each other that resulted in a draw. Do not put into consideration Holyfield now because all he is fighting for is a pay check.

      That's easy. Lennox' career is better by a huge margin. Who did Holyfield beat, what's his claim to fame? Beating a faded Tyson? Getting whipped by Bowe, the same Bowe who got exposed by Golota and who ran from Lewis? Or maybe Holyfield's best showing was beating up former middle weight Moorer? LOL

      Lewis is leagues above Holyfield. Holyfield is loved, he has a persona that makes boxing fans take his side. He's a warrior, he has heart. But his career is full of question marksa and holes. Add his personal problems and his bankruptcy on top, he simply isn't the sharpest tool in the shed.

          They Both fought the Best of their time.

          Holy : Moore, Bowe, Mercer, Cooper, Foreman, & etc
          Lewis : Morrison, Briggs, Klitschko, Tua, Golota.

          I say Holyfield has the better opposition. But Hey Lewis fought the best of his time as well. I say they're both significant in their own ways. Lewis defeating all his opponents. Holyfield didn't but, neither ducked anybody. Except Lewis when he was coming to an end against Klitschkos. That said they are both great fighters. Both ATGs! But I say Holyfield. Lewis is a BEAST though.

            Lennox retired on top.

            Holyfield is currently fighting for meal tickets, and it's hurting his legacy.

              Lewis IMO is the greater HW. I think he had the better HW career IMO.

              But, Holyfield is P4P greater fighter. And, had the better overall career.

                Lewis had the better title run and avenged his two losses, so I say him.

                However, Holyfield had the more exciting career considering all the ups and downs. He always came back when you least expected it, scoring upset wins over Mercer, Bowe II, and of course Tyson. He thought he a dead man being fed to Tyson.

                Holyfield's career was more fairy-tale, Hollywood-like, but Lewis had the better career and better reign. Man, he was just so dominant. Lewis and Holyfield are two of my all-time favorites.

                  at Heavyweight only? Lewis.
                  considering their entire careers, its Holyfield. I mean, apart from having a stellar Heavyweight career, he is the best Cruiserweight of all time with wins over Carlos DeLeon(the second best Cruiserweight of all time) and Ossie Ocasio and Dwight Muhammed Qawi, who are also some of the best Cruiserweights ever.

                    Lennox had the best career of any Heavyweight.

                    Defeated every single name on his resume'

                    Tyson, Klitschko, Holyfield, Bowe and avenged all of his losses. Hard to top that....
