Dont buy that, look at who Tyson had fought and how many rounds he had done leading up to the Holyfield fight, people just thought he was going to win because they were thinking Tyson was somewhere like the fighter he used to be, they were wrong.
Also he wasn't 24/1 underdog, leading up to the fight he might of been but come fight time he was around 8/1 alot of money got betted on Holyfield in the final days coming up to the fight.
You can also say that Bowe could of easierly beat him 3 times, there was nearly 30 minute gap in the rematch with the fan man made a appearance in the ring. I Just cant see how you can have Holyfield ranked so high just off beating Tyson. The fact is when he was in his prime and fought in the great trilogy with Bowe he came out as the Frazier and Bowe was the Ali. Also people say Holyfield was past it when he fought Lewis, he wasn't that past it 8 months before when he knocked out Moorer and beat Bean, Lewis made him look like a confused old man with Lewis's superior boxing skills.
So take all them factors and really you should have Bowe ahead of Holyfield and Lewis ahead of both of them, now we all know that both of them ducked Lewis.
