compare performance against any common opponent tucker golota holyfield ruddock and lewis fayres far better,plus the fact he beat tyson,plus the fact he fought every nameworth a mention in hisera and beat them,yes guess im wrong
This isn't the British forum and there are no Canadian or Jamaican forums here, so **** off with your pathetic ownership claim on LL, ya **** :deal
Lewis ANNIHILATED Holyfield twice????Did you even watch the fights?Lewis definitely deserved the 1st decision and the 2nd was pretty close,but ANNIHILATED????You smoking ganga?
How anyone can say Lewis wasnt great is beyond me.. Pommy/Jamaican/Canadian/Poof, who gives a fark, the bloke was an awesome fighter
I posed this topic to someone whose opinion i respect enormously ( especially history and heavyweights). Here's his list: 1. Louis 2. Ali 3. Holmes 4. Holyfield 5. Foreman 6. Johnson 7. Frazier 8. Lewis So for those who have lennox just outside the top 5 :good * not that all time lists arent anything but a bit of fun and debate.
Pretty good list although I have 1 & 2 round the other way, not sure about having Holyfield as high which probably means Ippy will declare a fatwah on me....
Imo regarding Lennox Lewis Top 5 - No Top 10 - Probably He had a great career but you need to remember that he was stopped by 2 guys in McCall and Rahman in Lewis' peak and those two fighter's were really nothing special. Also Lewis' wins over Holyfield and Tyson were when they were both pretty much done at the top level so I personally don't give Lewis' any great credit for those wins. A great career but imo very difficult to warrant giving him a top 5 place all time.
