The better HW of their era, Holyfield or Lewis?

[Fenster]

I have said above that I think peak Holyfield beats peak Lewis, but it's tight. When was peak Holyfield? The 1st Bowe fight arguably? Lewis was better than Bowe, so maybe Lewis would've out jabbed and beaten Holyfield

I'm sticking with Evander, but very hard to call

Evander Holyfield fought the wrong fight vs Riddick Bowe, in there 1st meeting. Plus Lennox Lewis might not have been better than Riddick Bowe in that one fight. It was an amazing performance from Riddick Bowe.

Can't argue with any of that

It's easy to excuse fighters for having bad nights or fighting the wrong fight. Holyfield is 1 out of 5 with Lewis and Bowe. If you bring his cruiserweight days into it, then he may well be better overall but not at heavyweight.

How many times do they need to beat him to convince they are his superior?
