He lost too much throughout his heavyweight run to be considered a great heavyweight. He lost his career defining trilogy, to Bowe, a guy who's only great accomplishment at Heavy is ...beating Holyfield twice. He lost twice to Lewis. He lost to Moorer. His greatest wins are against Bowe (lost trilogy), and over 3 way past prime greats (Tyson, Holmes, Foreman)
i think he is one of the best fighter ever! if he had retired after the lewis fight people will had think better of him! but he had that oldscholl mentality that didint knew when to call it quits
Really? maybe im to young to remember him getting the respect an ATG heavy should get. On this bored it seems to be just Lewis and Tyson
He gets his dues. The one aspect of his career that is underrated is that he's the greatest Cruiserweight ever. As a HW, overrated if anything.
he won the rematch against moorer who its way better than rashman and mccall :good he beat 2 times a ways better version of a younger mike tyson whats lewis best wins? old shot tyson and holyfield?
You're in for a treat. I feel he gets a lot of credit and is more often overrated than underrated. He's the definition of warrior either way.
Please. We've had this debate already in another thread. It's not an opinion anymore that Lewis is the better Heavyweight, it's a FACT.
