    Lewis never held all 4 of the major belts. ( WBA,WBO,IBF,WBC). In fact he never once held the WBO. He was also stripped of the WBA for not facing #1 Ruiz, and vacated the IBF title for not facing Byrd. So in general he has at most held as many belts as Wladimir holds now. lewis gets no **** for dropping his belts vs. 2 fighters, yet Wlad gets shitted on for not going after the last belt he doesn't own by refusing to fight his brother. hmmm

    Haye never held the IBF title at Crusierweight title. Never made a defense of his 3 titles after capturing them either, there's a real dominate run, 2 fights and he's gone. Wlad could have done that yrs ago at HW and retired.

    Revisionist much?
    Lets check the books. So Haye unifies WBA, WBC, WBO, doesnt have IBF all in one fight.
    Wlad gets IBF, unifies WBO, then twice for WBA. Doesnt have WBC.

    Are you sure you checked the facts before you posted?

    The WBO meant **** all when Lewis was champ.

    He never held the WBF, or the WBU either.

    It's only people attempting to rewrite history that now start counting them as legit world title fights in the 90s.

    Lennox had dreds. Haye has cornrows or as G$ora calls them "Canerows."
     
  5. The cornrow brothers cleared out the division, k2 have been feasting on cornrow seconds their entire careers

    Hope I don't get yellow teeth from just being in this thread.

    ^Having a million internet forum pics that you can access in 2 seconds doesn't make you look any less like a pasty brittard with a vcard.

    LOL! **** like this cracks me up. Nothing they have done has 'COME CLOSE' to Lennox 'lets just retire' Lewis?? Olympic Gold. Wlad has more title defenses than Lewis ever had and Vitali as many. Ibragimov, Chagaev, Brewster, Solis, Haye, Peter, Chambers, would have all gave any heavyweight in Lewis era that you mentioned above a fight, and possibly beat them. Anybody with any sense agrees that Bruno, washed up Tyson, late 30's Holyfield, Morrison, Mercer, Oliver 'wheres my crack pipe before I cry' McCall, and Ruddock could have easily lost to Wladimir and Vitalis opponents.

    Yesssss.. I can feel the hate flowwwww through you.

    WBO certainly meant more especially with 46yo Foreman holding WBA and IBF titles

    Vitali retired for 4 years rather than fight Rahman!

    No.

    WBO was dropped like a hot potato in the 90s when guys wanted to fight for a real title.

    You're comfortable calling Herbie Hide a two time world champion?
    Former world champion Michael Bentt?

    Come on. Bowe dropped it to fight the third Holy fight. Akinwande dropped it to fight Lewis. Sanders dropped it to fight Vitaly.

    In the 90s I thought its actual title was "the lightly regarded WBO" title.

    Why is Haye getting lumped in here Lennox is a top ten hw alltime as much as a fan of the brother that iam Vitali lost to Lennox and Wlad not face the level of competition that Lewis fought he may not be fair to hold that against Wlad and its really not but i beleive Lennox is the best of the super heavyweight fighters ever followed by Wlad, Bowe and Vitali
