    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.
    oh im not arguing holyfield was great. i was rooting for him in all of hbis fights at heavy, even against lewis. i think his resume is easily the 2nd best. but with that said, i cant see how it can be argued that his resume is better than lewis', and i dont even like the guy. that was my point.

      That's just ******ed.

      Lewis beats Holyfield.

      Even the judges knew that.

        Judges made a mistake.

        42 out of 48 ring observers had Holyfield winning.

          Got ya.

          I was wondering why Evander wasn't even on the poll.

          Lennox is clearly the best since Holmes.

            I voted not by there records or achievments, just the boxer that I think at there prime was the best, and from that list its got to be Tyson IMO.

              He doesnt have the chin to do it. Also doesnt have a good enough jab either.
              thanks for showing your knowledge. is this what this place has become?

                Which win was better Holyfield over Foreman or Lewis over Klitschko? Holyfield also defeated a prime Rid**** Bowe and beat Tyson before Lewis did.

                  Lewis never beat a champion to win a title. Both his reigns started by winning a vacant title. They were ended by getting KOed by mediocre fighters Mcall and Rahman. He was stripped of every title he had for not fighting the number one contenders. Lewis has disputed wins over Holyfield and Mercer.

                  Holyfield became champion in the ring and fought the best out there.
