    Almost all of his title defenses. Really. Why?

    Well the division is just as god/bad now, as it was before?

    Holy had just beaten Tyson twice then unified by knocking out Moorer.
    He then went on to win the world title again.

    Lewis was older when he beat Vitali

    Shameless trolling :tired

    I don't recall citing or comparing a Klitschko:huh. I think you're getting me confused. I'm not a hater.

    No? Tyson was not the same after he left Rooney and Cayton.

    Also King, Snowell, Givens had ruin him mentally. Remember Tyson is a very emotional person.

    Moorer? I dont know about him. He was there breafly and then he wen out. He is ok. First southpaw HW king, but Foreman got to him and beat him.

    I totally disagree. Would Adamek be considered the 3rd beat HW ok the planet with Lewis, Holyfield, Rahman, Mercer, Bruno, Golota, prime Briggs, Tua, Razor Ruddock etc?

    I don't think he would.

    For what it's worth, I have Wlad in the top 15

    Holyfield also could have been his best win, close to Vitali. the problem is it was scored a draw somehow and Lewis was horrible in the rematch. probably his worst performance aside from Rahman

    yeah he did

    Well I dont consider Adamek as a top 3 HW today. Povetkin &Solis higher than him.

    Adamek is a great cruiserweighter. But he cant punch. I see your point.:good

    But when we are going to include the whole Lewis era, we have to include the whole Klitschko era as well.

    Because he'd rather throw his title in the bin :lol:

    In all serious, it's like 12 o'clock here, I'm on the iPhone and I've been drinking so it's a little difficult :lol:

    But this era does not compare to Lewis' era in terms of greatness

    In 30 years Lewis will only be remember as the guy who got lucky after being beat from piller-to-post vs young Vitali and ran from a rematch...
