The better HW of their era, Holyfield or Lewis?

[generalbulldog]

These 2 are considered the best of their era, but who would take the title? Who was considered to be the best of their era? Some people say Lewis and some say Holyfield?

It's hard to say. I think Holyfield was better technically than Lewis, and was probably easier on the eye. This probably stems from him being lighter and more mobile. With that said, i think Lewis' resume at Heavyweight is more impressive.

So i'm going to say Lewis. But it's close.

I also felt the same way too. Holyfield had a better chin, hand and foot speed, and determination. Lewis had power, size, and a better resume at HW, not that Holyfield's wasn't but Lewis also fought guys like Grant, Morrison, Ruddock, Tua, Vitali, etc. So for me it goes to Lewis, because of the resume. Still close though.
