The best heavyweight 1985-2005

[dr_devious]

If he lost that many rounds to a light heavyweight, how good could he be?

Dec, you're the one who is always slagging the old timers on here......Ketchel is crap, Fitzsimmons sucks etc. Why dont you show some consistency in your posts?

[The Raging Bull]

Overall, gotta go with Lennox.

But split up into decades I would go with:

80's-Tyson
90's-Lewis
00's-Not really sure. I'll go with Lewis again.

Overall, gotta go with Lennox.

But split up into decades I would go with:

80's-Tyson
90's-Lewis
00's-Not really sure. I'll go with Lewis again.

I'd say:
- early 80s Larry Holmes,
- late 80s Tyson,
- early 90s unclear (Tyson in prison, Holyfield, Lewis, Bowe all with important wins but also important losses),
- late 90s largely Holyfield,
- 2000s Lewis (changing of the guards in 99).

Overall Lewis narrowly ahead of Tyson and Holyfield.
