I have to give it to Holyfield, Lewis was good but Holyfield was a machine fighting guys much bigger and stronger then himself in the HW division. He won fights with heart and determination over much bigger men then himself and he was so much more exiting to watch then Lewis could ever be.


If Holyfield only had the size of Bowe and Lewis with his determination and toughness their would be no question who was better in his era, average size HW's these days have a long road ahead of them fighting guys who out weigh them by 30 to 70 lbs and several inches taller. Then you have Valuev who is a shit fighter but will still give a great average sized HW problems just from the pure size advantage.
