I disagree with Holyfield. Evander was 100% thrill ride no matter who he fought. He made his opponents get into real fighting condition because they knew they need to be at their best in order to beat Evander. not like today’s Heavyweights that have no desire and seem to have signed a contract that says lets not get in shape for the fight 250-260lbs absolute ridiculous weights now days , None effective weight I might add.

I also disagree with Lewis, However I find Lennox an interesting addition although Lewis avenged his dismantles, he was not really consistent through his career. kind of bored me to watch a lot of the time. He seemed to have an attitude of just do enough to win, without taking any real chances. then in some fights he brought his A game . I liked Lewis before he put on all that weight. When he was 227 lbs against Ruddock .

Oh Bollocks

I guess his impressive victories over Holyfield made his career, but after Golata ripped him up I knew he was overated.

This is a joke right, he is a 6 weight champion, what is wrong with you, seriously?

How can anyone who has been a World Champion be "Over-Rated".

You go into a sport aiming to be the best a "World Champion" if you succeed you are not "Over-Rated"...

Seriously some of you guys ask so much from these men, It makes me wonder if you actua.lly think they should die in the ring just to please you?

John Ruiz ia a bum.
Although that might be unkind to bums.

I can see that debating with you is going to be difficult because we have to break it down in elementary terms for you. Let me give you a basketball analogy.
Many people believe that Micheal Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time. When he retired the first time Scottie Pippen (His sidekick) tookover the main role as team leader. People put him on the same level with Micheal Jordan thinking he would duplicate the same success, he didn't. So people screamed that he was over rated. Does not mean that he was a bum, it does not mean he was not successful (Great Player) it means that people expected more out of him than he produced. That is what overated is. Champions can be overated, it does not mean that they are not successful.
