Top 15 Current Heavyweights

[The Ruler 09]

The fact that Lewis is ranked lower than Tyson and Holyfield even though he beat both of them is .

If we add both Holyfield's Cruiserweight AND Heavyweight careers ok, but just as a heavyweight Lewis > Holyfield.

I think they are rating on both yeah. Yeah Lewis can't deny the resume, beat every man he fought and didn't duck. He has some excellent names on his resume too.

I agree, I just personally have a hard time rating a fighter above another fighter that they got beat by, plus Lewis avenged both of his Ls.

But like I said at the end of the day Lewis beat Holyfield when they squared off, that will always trump everything else in my eye.
