I think Holy had more defining fights.....Certainly had the more meaningful wins!!
Bowe, Moorer, Tyson twice, A pre-title Foreman.......a comebacking Dokes..unbeaten Alex stewart........top rated Rodrigues....
Lewis a great for sure but...Ruddock had lost twice to Tyson....Holy had lost twice to Bowe and once to Moorer...Tyson was finished....Vitali was good but not without controversy!!... Tua was good...Golota a fairy....Rahman ??
Hard to split them but for me......
Holy just a tad higher..
Should Holyfield rank higher than Lewis??

Have to remember that Ali would beat Robinson If they fought...
When considering the greatest boxer of alltime you have to look at personal assets too..
6ft 3....220 pounds of muscle....
It's the one factor people forget...
Ali beats everybody......

I'd pick Vitali to beat Joe Louis..
Should he be higher!!
I'd pick peak Iron Mike to knock Lennox out but I have Lennox higher or around the same mark!!
You contradict yourself all the time...
and stop with the stupid arrogant face-slapping smileys..
No wonder you keep getting kicked off other sites..

obviously ali would beat robinson if they fought, robinson was a welter/middleweight

exactly....but we are talking about the greatest boxer....so personal assets do come in..
Now I don't begrudge anybody ranking Robbo higher..
I just think Ali is the best...

If he couldn't then you'll admit right now that Marquez beat Manny twice then..right!!

Lewis killed the HW division with his lameness.. i think holyfield was definitely a superior fighter, but lewis was so tall that he'd just lean on holyfield all fight likethe b** he was. He also headbutted Wlad, or Vitali.. i forget which one he fought

Lewis owned Holyfield, but was robbed in the first fight.
------------------Lewis--------Holyfield
Landed -------348-------------130
Thrown---------613-------------385
Pct.-------------57%------------34%
A clear gulf in class, how American judge Eugenia Williams gave it to Holyfield, I don't know.
Corruption or gross incompetence.
