Who was the greatest Heavyweight Post- Ali era?

[heat27]

Larry Holmes

H2H, probably Larry Holmes.

Prime versions of Larry Holmes, Jack Johnson, Lennox Lewis, and Evander Holyfield would have given a prime Ali (64-67) the most problems.

Larry Holmes or Holyfield.

Holyfield has a better resume but Holmes was much more consistent.

I'm in absolute agreement with this.

lol, u seem to hate lewis. why the dislike?

I don't hate Lennox Lewis at all. I really don't. I don't like Evander Holyfield who I consistently praise anymore than I like Lennox Lewis. Infact, if anything, thoughout the 90's I disliked Holyfield because he put a beating on my favourite fighter at the time in Mike Tyson. I just simply don't think he's that great.

Atleast not as great as Larry Holmes or Evander Holyfield.

JMO.

I actually have Holmes much higher than Holy. I voted Lennox, then Holmes, then Holy. Kinda hard to give Holy credence over them when he went 1-4 with the 2 best of the 90's. IMO

I feel that Holyfields win over Bowe and the two wins over 96 Tyson are better and then some than Lennox Lewis' career in entirety really.

I mean, yeah he lost to Bowe twice and I felt he clealry lost the 1st Lewis fight but on the other hand I thought he beat Lewis the second time. No robbery or anything like the first fight but I felt he won the second one.

And I just rank Holyfield over Lewis on the basis then his resume is simply better.

Evander Holyfield is probably one of the most underrated HW of all-time. Yes, he lost to Bowe twice, but he still had good wins and fought in a tough HW era (Tyson, Bowe, Lewis, Moorer).

Possibly.

Him or Harry Willis IMO.

Fair argument. I had lewis winning both fights over Holy though. And I rank lewis' W over Klit as the best win on either guy's resume for what it's worth.

That's true I always forget about the win over Vitali Klitschko.

That was a great win and it's possibly the best win on either of their resumes.

But I'd say Holyfield has more quality overall in his resume than Lewis has.

Tyson, Lennox, or Holyfield. that's it.
