Who will go down as a better Heavyweight champ? Tyson, Lewis or Holyfield?

Answer 1

I would have to say holyfield. he fought everyone, and he fought the best. Lennox fought a lot of big names but they were all at times in there career were at lows. he ducked good fighters. Also he got knocked out by 2 bums. Tyson could have been the best ever but ruined his career by making poor decisions.

Answer 2

Hollyfield will go down as the better Heavyweight champ because of his overcoming adversities and coming back after losing. Also always coming in to a fight in shape and taking on all comers to become an unprecidented 4 time World Champion. Plus his career continues and he might even win another championship.

Tyson will go down as more talented maybe but undisciplined and out of control. He is the youngest and will undouibtedly be remembered and enshrined in the Hall of Fame but people will ask what could have been more than anything.

Lewis left too many doubts in peoples mind because of his performance and controversy in his last match which was against Vitali Klitchko. Though he beat Hollyfield he didn't have the great fighters to test him afterward and his highlight was a match against an aging Tyson and the match with Klitchko in which he refused to give a rematch too. He was a good champion but won't be remembered as well as Hollyfield I don't think.

Answer 3

Holyfield. I don't think people recall this, but until he hit the heavyweight scene, entertaining and competitive fights were considered a thing of the past.

Answer 4

Probably Holyfield for sportsmanship...Tyson was the most dominant, but also has a few loose screws upstairs...

Answer 5

In their primes, Tyson.....note that Lewis should never be considered amongst the greats for ducking Vitali.

Answer 6

holyfield for sure
