Tyson had a lot more exciting fights vs bad or medicore opponents because the way he hit them make it look funny.
But against good opponents in title fights or title eliminations.. Lewis actually had more bang for the buck.Comment

Lewis was not an exciting heavyweight, neither is wlad. They have efficient fighting styles, the only time either of them were exciting is when they are tagged by a big shot an go down or when they have broke an opponent down and go in for the kill, but this usually follows long drawn out jab fests. Obviously there are exceptions to the rule but on a whole they were never exciting. Does this harm there chances for ATG status? Among casuals maybe, but true boxing fans no there's more to a fighter than highlight reel kos or stupid triangle theories, (Haye wouldn't have gone 12 with Lewis, wlad would never have been ko'd by Rahman)
P.S I think mercer was robbed against LewisComment

Actually I watched quite a few of his fight. I remember the theme was lots of hugging. Heavyweights are just seldom exciting.Originally posted by Skittlez View PostComment

More exciting i would say because he fought in an era with better fighters. Wlad is a very good fighter but he isn't exciting although the ease in which he defeats the competition that is in his era in impressive to witness.
