    You wont get any arguments from me about how good Lennox was, but he wasn't in Holmes' atmosphere

    I wa always a Tyson fan myself and hated Lewis.he had zero personality and i always rooted for his oonent.but when i look back on his career he was awesome.Holmes was too no doubt but Lewis edges him for me and both are top 4 atg

    Winning in a method that would see most people want to poke their eyes on purpose.

    lewis was a good champ but if warring in the 70s he would have only been rated between 6 -10 in the contenders . tend to feel sorry for shavers , lyle , bugner and young - would all be champions today . like to see how far big lennox would go in manila in 99 per cent humidity and 100 degree heat - thats what all time great means - this one fight will still be watched in a 1000 years from now but i dont think any lewis fights will be .

    lewis would school shavers lyle bugner young and he would beat
    frazier.and would have very good shout against ali.he was concussive but more intellegent than foreman and wouldnt stand there throwing haymakers for 8 rounds,frazier was to short,the others are nothing special.

    instead of just going by their names actually watch them fight and you will see that they are of limited skills

    this.

    but i dont even think he was that good. just because he was big, black, and fought correctly, doesnt give him a 'great' tag. he was in a **** of a heavyweight era. sort of suited a poof, dont you recon..?
