Lennox Lewis. People who picked Tyson are living off the name, just like I used to. Once someone stood up to Tyson he fell apart because he was mentally weak. Holyfield was great but got beat a lot.

I can solve this quite easily. Any meaningful list of the top 10 heavyweights of all time (lists made by the experts and sportswriters) ALWAYS has Lewis above Holyfield and Holyfield above Tyson. I can't believe people think Tyson was some kind of God. Are you all just New Yorkers or what?

That makes sense considering both guys owned his ass.

Its not all about stats, its about alot of factors. One big factor is entertainment. And no one entertained like Mike Tyson. Not to make you angry Diego.

Lennox Lewis, retired as a champion.



the most exciting - Mike Tyson

FOR ME, Tyson was slighty overated, yes he was brutal and dominant but which of the greats of his era did he really beat well?

Holmes way too old, Spinks too small and no heart, Berbick was never a great fighter, Bruno no defense, Tucker no condition and Thomas no real ability.

Tall strong fighters gave him real trouble i.e. Bone Crusher Smith, Tony Tucker, therefore he would FOR ME he would have always have found it too much against Lewis!

Lewis was far from flawless, his problem was not a weak chin it was a weak work ethic he took certain fighters for granted and paid for it badly, he beat Holyfield and Tyson becuase he respected them and took them seriously.
Lewis though had the far better skills and he could punch, he got too heavy towards the end of his career but was still the best around.

Holyfield was robotic and a little thoughtless but he had the heart of a lion!

FOR ME in their hey day!

Lewis could have beaten both.
Tyson would have had too much for Holyfield and he would have needed medical attention due to his bravery.
