    I'll start:

    Eurobum Zeljko "Bread Hustler" Mavrovic. He ate Lewis' bombs and nearly knocked out Lewis in a hilarious match. He was completely out muscled, outsized, outskilled, yet still nearly shattered that canadian glass.

    There are many to name, I leave it to you ESB.

    mavrovic wasn't elite, but he was a solid contender.

    if he were around today he'd be the best fighter that either klitschko had been in the ring with. excluding lewis. :yep

    Lennox takes a HW dump on your chump thread. Beat every man he ever faced. Zeljko Mavrovic had something like a year to train for Lewis bit still got KTFO'd. But don't let facts get in the way of your revisionist thread :rasta

    Lennox Claudius Lewis was the best HW champ since Ali. He beat every man he ever faced in the pro ring. How many can say that???

    He fought these men when they were well past their prime. He hid in England until Tyson was safely locked away in prison, and then finally came to the US to fight shot/fat versions of Holyfield, Tucker, Tua, Tyson, etc. Shameful. The worst HW champ of all time.

    Only top level HW champ taken out in the early round twice by second-rate fighters while he held the title. The ONLY one. Lewis is the most overrated HW champ in recent memory!

    Best HW since Ali?? :rofl Puh-leez. Both Holmes and Holyfield were clearly greater. Tyson arguably too!!!
