Holyfield loses to Bowe and Lewis twice as well and would not have performed as well against a focused prime Tyson. Great fighter loved his fights but not in top 5
Vitali never truly beaten in career. Barely lost that many rounds. Most underrated HW ever.
1 Vitali K
2 Tyson
3 Holmes
4 Lewis career saved by Manny Steward
5 Vlad K career saved by Manny Steward
Let's see what Joshua does. I'm excited about his future
I don't think it's fair to use Holyfield's Lewis fights against him like that. He was at the end by that point. They are more good for Lewis than bad for Evander.The fact he was competitive in the re-match and wins way into his twilight years like Rahman and Ruiz help his case IMO. Sure, he lost the Bowe series 2-1 but Bowe may have been the best of the era but for poor discipline. Also Holyfield was in no condition to be in the ring in the rubber match he was sick as a dog and it showed. The fact he had Bowe down and hurt again shows you more good than bad.
I think he will always have beaten Tyson. He had the measure of him but all we have to judge is Holyfield spanking him as. 26-1 underdog.Comment
