Evander Holyfield is like "THE FAMOUS NOBODY" of boxing... sure... he won a Bronxe Medal and was a champion Cruiserweight/Heavyweight PRO BOXER... but... he is like a nobody... and people don't talk of him as they do with "Ali!!!"

I have to go with Lewis on this one.

He beat both of them and beat ever man he faced.

The only two losses he had, he advenged in a major way

He made McCall cry and he snow angeled Rahman

Lennox Lewis was a real gentleman in boxing... in a time of trash talking and such and such... here was a big Black Canadian-Britain who loved his MOMMA!

McCall cried? That really shows he can hold it in. (imagine that in sarcasm).

Lewis was in his prime when he beat them, and they were both way past there prime. Thats like saying marciano was better than louis because he beat him, or that holmes was better than ali, come on!

Tyson in his prime is the best of these 3 easy and heres why I say this:

Holyfeild- Come on its obvious that this guy used steroids so in my book he should be whiped clean out of the pages of boxing.

Lewis- Overall I would say that he had the best career out of these three, but thats only because don king ruined tysons career, and holyfeild cheated by using steroids. Lewis only beat old washed up versions of tyson and holyfeild, and had he fought either of them in there prime I beleive there would be much different outcomes. Its just my opinon but this guy got beat by rahman in his prime, and that says it all.

holyfeild lost to bowe and moorer in his prime where would lewis have lost to these guys he would have beaten them both at the same time with an arm tied round his back.

i do agree however that if lewis and tyson had met in there primes that fight could have been diffrent but they didn't, lewis was so dominating in his win over tyson and that is why i give him the slight edge.
