The early 1990's version of Evander Holyfield would win IMO, although thats probably and unpopular opinion.
I totally agree with this post. I always felt that the Evander that won the title first time around would beat any version of Lewis. Not knocking Lewis in any way as I feel Evander is probably the 3rd or 4th greatest HW of all time behind Ali, Louis and MAYBE 70's Foreman. There are others who could easily be argued to be above Holyfield I know but this is my opinion and Evander is my all time favourite HW .

As for Resumes I feel they are pretty equal, Evander didn't fight Grant, Ruddock, Tua and Vitali but Lewis didn't fight Moorer, Bowe, Foreman or Holmes. So to me they were pretty equal in that sense. Also Evander fought a much more dangerous version of Tyson IMO, and a Tyson that still carried a slight air of invincibility.

It is a close call and anyone arguing either fighter has a case, but my vote definitely goes for Evander.
