I'm talking about their careers as a whole... not just their later years! I know Holyfield beat Tyson twice (the first time he was lucky... the second time... we all know what happened the second time) and Lewis beat both of them quite convincingly... but who... overall... was the better boxer out of the 3???

If we are talkin entire careers Lewis by far.

Not only did Lewis beat both of them he also beat every fighter he has ever fought.

Young Tyson was awesome & intimidating but once Cus was gone & he went outa control it was an average career. Was beatin badly by bums late in his career.

Holyfield had a great Cruiser career. And was a great heavyweight champ. His trilogy with Bowe was awesome. His upset win over Tyson was great.
He did lose to alot of guys & does not know when to retire. So again if we are talkin entire careers Holyfield is slightly blemishing his every fight in the last 3 years.

Lewis 150%. He beat both of them convinsingly and when they weren't exactly weak guys either.

Yes , I guess I would have to go with Lewis. You have to look at the whole picture.Mike had "it" early on but had a rather dismal 2nd half.

lewis no question, tyson could have been and id put holyfeild at #3 out of these guy's just going by what tyson acheived so young.

I agree 1 Lewis. 2 Tyson. 3 Holyfield. Thats not even the top 3 of all time either.

1. Holyfield
2. Lewis
3. Tyson - Never considered him a boxer, more of a brawler.

tyson was excelent boxer in his youth and had great defence..

he started to look for 1 big punch to much.

Why Holyfield? He was never great just good. Lewis was great for his time. Holyfield..... No.
