The better HW of their era, Holyfield or Lewis?

I think the reason Holyfield took Foremans punch but struggled with Coopers is cuz he saw Foremans coming. They were sent second class so Evander was able to prepare. Lewis' culd land quicker and changed the angles of his shots ( Rahman 2 ) Bowe knocked Holyfield out aswel before Evander had his best wins. Problem with Evander is that he always wanted to trade with biggr men when he would have been better served using his speed to get in and out.

I think it was more of a fluky thing, a true brick that any big man is capable of on any given night. He landed after 3rd, and Evander took em. After all, pretty sure he didn't see that brutal pin point uppercut in the 10th round coming from the best version of Bowe we've seen. Same round ended fairly well for him I'd say.
Tyson win was great. Considering some pundits and fans considered 'that' version of Holyfield a walking dead man going in. He did however have some best wins at hvy before Bowe ko. I'd say discipline and style he showed in Foreman and Bowe 2 would suit him well vs Lewis in any form. Better then 'later' version who was gifted a draw and did after all end up on otherside of a debatable 2nd fight.

I think if this was a question of who had the better career overall then with the great fights and world titles at cruiser Evander makes it much closer, although in saying that David Haye seems to recieve little to no credit from many for entering the HW ranks as undisputed cruiser champ. I think that Evanders win over a much better version of Tyson than the one Lennox fought was a huge win because many HWs at that time would have lost to Tyson before the bell rang mentally Evander was on that night. In an earlier post it was mentioned that Evander is 1 from 5 with Bowe and Lewis and this clinches it for Lennox for me especially with Bowes refusal to face him as this emphasises Lewis consistency granted he switched off twice in his career but was emphatic in the rematches Rahman especially. He was also more exciting than people give him credit for explosive KOs against Golota, Grant, Botha, Ruddock and great fights with Briggs, Bruno, Vitali
