    Evander deserves some serious consideration over Holmes. He wasn't as good, but I'd say he proved himself against better fighters due to the level of competition he had to face. Holmes certainly proved himself, but didn't do so as often as Holyfield did.

    Oh my word, Lennox is winning the poll? What is wrong with you people?

      I actually like Lennox but he gets hideously overrated, I never really understood people ranking him above Evander.

        I voted Lewis, as I haven't seen enough Holmes to comment.

        However lots of people ducked Lewis and anyone he lost to, he came back and dominated them.

              not to mention how he bet Mercer by the skin of his teeth and was getting outboxed by Bruno, untill KHTFO. But even Lewis himself says that Tyson was his greatest victory

                    Vitali. he has lost 5 ROUNDS in his entire career, he hasnt been beaten by anyone, only when ref stopped fight against Lewis and when shoulder injury. He was whooping both of them on the score card. I laugh when people say Lewis is better, Lewis ran away and retired, he was getting owned 4-2 on scorecards when fight was stopped.

                    Think about it, a HW fighter that has never been defeated legitly and lost 5 rounds in his career.
