Right after his tough fights against Lewis, he had his "trilogy" with John Ruiz. At that point critics were calling Holyfield Past his prime, so less than a year earlier vs. Lewis he was still prime? Did he get old overnight or was he on the slide against both guys. I think he did as good as he ever could against the much bigger Lewis and Nobody looks good against John Ruiz so I dont hold those fights against Holyfield. I dont think he really started to show his age until he fought Hasim Rahman. I think the Ruiz fights just took a lot out of him and that contributed to his three consecutive loses (not that age didnt have anything to do with it). But he fought Lewis well in the loss that I thought he won and if that wasnt a somewhat prime Holyfield I dont know what is.
