    I think you can make a case for either Lewis or Ali, depending on your own criteria for what makes the best resume,
    Ali for having the best names on there, and the most wins against great fighters
    Lennox Lewis for for having beaten more good fighters and the more consistently strong opponents

    I think Arreola is a much better win than one against either Valuev or a shot Ruiz myself. Of course Haye has a great chance to put this resume argument to bed once and for all come July 2nd.

    Archie moore
    Henry cooper 2x
    Sonny liston 2x
    Floyd patterson 2x
    Jerry Quarry2x
    Oscar Bonaneva
    Frazier 3x
    Ken Norton 3x
    Big George
    Leon Spinks

    And I still left out guys like Lyle, Shavers, Ellis, Bugner, Chuvalo, Terrell, Mildenberger and so on and so on.
    His resume is like a Who Is Who of heavyweight boxing

    Lewis would have took it had Bowe not refused to fight him in '92, and Tyson in '96.

    Ali
    Lewis

    I don't know why you've included Henry Cooper in the first bracket, the guy was a nothing fighter and wouldn't make the top 20 today.


    W Klitschkp
    V Klitschko
    Haye
    Adamek
    Chambers
    Helenius
    Povetkin
    Chagaev
    Solis
    Juan Carlos Gomez
    Peter
    Boytsov
    Thompson
    Arreola
    Pulev
    Dimitrenko
    Mike Perez
    Ustinov
    Liakhovich

    No chance he wins against this crop, tbh I think I could find another 30 in todays era he would struggle against.

    :lol: at the people saying anything besides Louis and Ali though, there's no comparison.

    Both guys were arguably the best fighter in three decades of HW boxing, and dominant in the majority of that, there's no comparison really to any other fighter.
