        You guys, Holyfield was not a light-heavyweight champion...he won the Cruiserweight belt and the Heavyweight belt.

        By the way, during their respective primes I have to go with Tyson. Even though he didnt have the lasting power of the other two he was superior during his prime.

        Holyfield deserves his recognition of the term "warrior" but be aware he gets this label for being in wars. He has had many ring wars.

        Tyson, during his prime, was unstoppable. It is ignorant to say if he didnt knock a guy out he lost, just as it is ignorant to say he lost to every guy that could take his power. He has a handful of decision victories and it should be noted that during his prime he could basically "shut out" and opponent even if he didnt knock him out. I cant remember the last time a havyweight fighter was that hard to hit. And Tyson had to be in close because of his size, and still he was so hard to hit cleanly. In fact, he was only hit by very good punches a handful of times before he fired Rooney. Afterwards, his defense was much worse.

            A "prime" must last longer than 2 years in order for them to be known as a great heavyweight in my eyes.

                  mike tyson was always shot??
                  have you seen early tyson's fights??
                  obviously not, or you wouldnt make such an extrodinary ignorant and foolish statement.

                  his career turned to **** because of poor management, improper training, and tyson's emotional issues

                  tyson has considerable more talent that both lewis and holy.
                  in their primes, i believe tyson cleans up

                      Holyfield wins my pick.

                      He is easily the greatest crusier weight in my opinion, he's always fought the divison's best.

                      Then it's Lewis (eventhough the ****er makes me sick) and then Tyson.


                      This is based purely on level of comp, and achievements. Not based on who'd beat who in a prime for prime situation.
