Lennox Lewis vs Prime Evander Holyfield

Post by GordonChen »

Could Evander Holyfield At His Prime Beat Lennox Lewis Or Not as he did for dominated in the first fight but did came back strong in the second fight and this could be score a draw and can even be argued that Holyfield should have won on the second fight or Lennox Lewis

Lewis at his best wins any version of Holyfield.

Hmmmm... that's a tough one. I consider Holyfield the superior fighter, but I'm not sure Lewis' style fits him.

If they would've faced each other in 1991-1994 - I'd have picked Holyfield.

If it's a 1991-1994 Holyfield against a 1996-2000 Lewis - then, we have a fight. I'd possibly side with Lennox. But in a very competitive, hard-fought outing.

Evander Holyfield would have knocked him out. If the fading away version of Holyfield gave Lennox Lewis problems, especially in the second fight, I imagine a much faster, agile, better conditioned Holyfield would have done?

Holyfield by knockout in 10. He was the better fighter. The most complete heavyweight boxer of the last 35 years.

Holyfield at his best from 1990 to 1994 would either outbox and outpunch Lewis to take a decision or stopping him in 10 rounds. Lewis would take a decision like in their actual fight if they fought later in their careers.
