    Holyfield deserves to be on the list more than both Klitschko brothers. I should have put him on the list. Lewis, Holyfield, and Tyson are the best heavyweights since Larry Holmes.

      Tyson was shot, 15 years past prime when Lewis beat him.

      Lewis' resume isnt better than Tyson. Most of the guys Lewis beat were damaged goods.

            Holyfield beat

            Foreman
            Holmes
            Cooper
            Bowe
            Tyson twice
            Mercer
            Rahman
            Oquendo
            Ruiz
            Czyz
            Buster Douglas
            Michael Dokes
            James Tillis

            That's a pretty good HW run.

                You mean Lewis' win over a shot Holyfield that was heavily disputed. Tysons win over Berbick>>> Lewis' win over Vitali.

                  I already said Lewis was better.

                  Holyfield's willingness to fight anyone and everyone should enhance his resume somewhat.

                  In his prime or near prime he had a hell of a run. Undisputed two or three times.

                  I can't remember.

                  He was undersized the whole time.

                  Its like Jacobs at the slam dunk contest. You give him a little more credit for being smaller.

                  But yes. Lewis has the best resume since Holmes.

                      Overall, Tyson. He defined the division. Peak Mike is a top 5 HW ever, I dont think Lewis or Evander are.

                      Resume: Lewis.
