Who is the best from this 3 legends? (Tyson, Lewis, Holyfield)

Holyfield-most distinguished career
Tyson-most dissapointing...what could have been?
Lewis-Head to head I take him

favorite-Holyfield (please retire)

[Kid_Diamond]

-Recently, Tysons been in the news for some accusations. What advice would you give to Mike Tyson, a good buddy of yours?

-Freddie Roach: -The accusations, hopefully they stay that way and not come true. Of course I like Mike. His life is under a microscope and everything he does is going to be noticed. I hope they're not true and I always hope the best for Mike. I think he should become a boxing analyst or be a broadcaster.

Prime Tyson, which was before he was locked up was probably the best of all time.

[oldgringo]

Best overall fighter? Evander Holyfield for sure.

-Started as a Light Heavyweight
-Beat a very good Cruiser in Qawi in his 12th professional fight
-Unified the Cruiserweight division
-3 time world heavyweight champion
-Involved in some of the greatest heavyweight fights ever with Tyson, Bowe, Dokes, and Cooper
-Wins over: Qawi/DeLeon/Dokes/Foreman/Holmes/Bowe/Mercer/Moorer/Tysonx2
-Toughest fighter of the 3 with the most heart and the best chin

I rate them:

Holyfield
Lewis
Tyson

Again...nuff said.

Tyson The Best, again.

No way you can argue that Tyson was on his way to becoming the greatest fighter to ever step into the ring, but it just wasn't meant to be, Drugs, personal life, personal problems, and Don King made sure it wouldn't happen. The only man that can beat Tyson in his prime was Tyson himself, eventually he would have gotten to the point of KOing Ali late, UDing Frazier, and last but certainly not least, KOing George Foreman, all of whom were in there prime!

A damn shame and a damned waste of talent, sheesh.

Evander Holyfield never says quit, the quality that Tyson lacked throughout most of his career. Tyson was the youngest to win the title, Holyfield won it the most times, personally I like Holyfield's Title accomplishment more, but thats just oppinion.
Prime Tyson would KO Holyfield in 6-10 rounds without any trouble.

Lennox Lewis is another case, Linnear Champion, and much like Tyson beaten only by himself. Probably the best European Fighter to ever step into the ring, and thats just the damn facts. But his chin and lack of movement would pose HUGE trouble against Tyson, I see a very early KO unless Lewis starts moving like he does occasionally, since he is 6'6 260 something pounds, it is abso****inglutely ammazing to see him move like it to!
Hence the opening seconds of the Tyson fight, he was as aggressive as Prime Tyson, same with Briggs and a few others, you get Lewis in trouble he gets you back!
IF lewis fights like normal, he gets KOed in first to thrid round very fast and brutally by Mike, if he moves he stands a good chance at beating Tyson, but he never does so Tyson screws him in round one.

Muhammad Ali would go a loooong way before it is stopped, but Ali is succeptable to lunging punches, which is Tyson's speciallty, I see Ali expecting to lure Tyson in to much and getting Knocked the **** out in round 14 or so. He cannot do that with Tyson, it worked against mediocre peices of 70's ****(Their good but just don't size up to the other Heavys) that he fought and Ali didn't seem to like those shots that they threw, if he does this against Tyson he is in for a long, brutal night of punishment. Ali must keep his hands up or he will get KOed, he probably would, but hes not going to move away from Tyson's shots for long before getting clocked, he has to block and keep those hands up! Then he can win.

Same goes for Foreman, but he can catch Tyson coming in, in which case Tyson would probably go down and out, if anyone can beat a full potential Mike, its Foreman, but Foreman must be careful the full time or were gonna be outta there very very quickly!

You're a ******ed rehab moron!

Tyson could fight Holyfield 1000 times and each time he would get KNOCKED OUT!

I don't care what year it is..

Tyson can't deal with people that got heart...

Holyfield is one of the biggest warriors of all time...

Go back to the fantasy boxing session and talk about fights between Rocky and Drago..

holyfield hands down

[EastCoastBoxing]

You have to look at each of the fighters entire career. Tyson is probably the second most well known heavyweight of all time (next to Ali) but that alone doesn't make him the best of these three. Lewis didn't fight the quality of opponent that either of these guys fought in the prime. Holyfield stuck around way too long, but of the three I have to say that he has had the best career. If Mike didn't land in jail a couple of time, maybe it would be different!
