prove it?
one fact that you cannot ignore is in the 2 fights that defined his status as an all time great were against2 GREAT fighters who badly past their prime.
IMO,
Holyfield (in his prime) had a workrate that would nullify lewis main weapon, and thats the jab. Holyfield was the type of fighter who would eat the jab all night long to get in his work.
However during the lewis fights, you could easily see holyfield eatin the jabs to get inside, but didnt have the power or speed anymore to implement his attack on lewis.
Lennox NEVER faced an athletic opponent like Evander Holyfield (prime)
I am convinced that for lennox to have such a hard time against a tired past his prime holyfield, he wouldnt of beatin a prime holyfield.
