I am not asking you to disect the pereiods of their careers when they fought, I just think that you should check out Holmes' era if you think Lewis fought some bums
As I've stated before I think Holmes would UD Lewis, but you won't find many better resumes in history than Lewis |
Most of these guys you have just mentioned were already victims im not sure if you know what i mean by that i'll you a example.
Ruddock= Tyson already beat him twice
Morrison= Bentt already finished him in less than 2 minutes and Mercer almost killed Morrison
Mercer= Holyfield already beat him Holmes did and Jesse ferguson

enuff said
Golota= now i give him alot of credit for this win considering Golota battered Bowe twice
Tucker= Tyson already got to him BIG H and was 35 if i remember
Briggs= got a gift off Foreman actually forget that it was a robbery and he also got stopped in 3 rounds by that
other mediocre chump but i can't remember his name at moment
Akiwande= the hugger ?? well he may of had good record but imo he isn't that good of a fighter more of a hugger than a fighter im sure your agree
I won't go into the others but what im saying is that most of Lewis's best wins were washed up fighters like Holyfield and Tyson i give Lewis credit and im not saying Holmes beat better opp but he did dominate his era and beating some good undefeated fighters like.
Gerry Cooney
Tim Witherspoon
Carl Williams
Renaldo Snipes
And of course his two best wins
Earnie Shavers just before he fought Holmes in 1st fight he almost beat Ali and in 2nd fight with Holmes just before he fought Holmes he destroyed Norton in 1.
Ken Norton some may say he was washed up but i disagree he almost beat Ali and he also beat Jimmy Young who was just coming off giving Foreman a boxing lesson.
I give Lewis credit for beating.
Andrew Golota
Gary Mason because of his power and because Lewis only had like 14 fights at that time
Ruddock because of how early he done
Tua
Holyfield
Klitschko
And thats about it really i don't give him much credit for Mercer because he should of handled Mercer alot easier yet he made it alot of hard work and Mercer was never a great boxer and imo the fight was a draw.
