    Joshua is a 6'6 250 athletic freak in only 20 fights hes shown little weaknesses compared to just about everyone you have listed . He has also just surpassed Tyson in number of fights not going to judges . People need to realise this and that hes real not an imaginary person just like all the era top guys were down played in THEIR time .

    Alls i heard in the 90's was how terrible Lennox Lewis was ....does this sound familiar now ?

        even with my long winded explanation though, it should be obvious why my favorite HW boxer was

          Id go along with that except swap Holmes and Lewis. Holmes is seriously underrated, I mean almost criminally so.

            Holmes is top 5 of all-time of an era
            Tyson could've/should've been GOAT
            Lewis was the best of the post-Tyson era (mid '90s on)
            Vlad was champ 10 years in a weak era
            Evander/Vitaly

                      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
                      Vitali never truly beaten? I mean Lewis' punch caused the cut and though Lewis was fatigued, Vitali appeared hurt too at the end of the round. Either way a fair punch cut the eye.

                      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.
