    Always thought Lennox Lewis was one of the UK's greatest ever and an elite level fighter until I read the opening post.

    Maybe he got Lennox Lewis mixed up with Lewis Hamilton.

    Lennox Lewis beat everybody who would fight him. Everybody available at the time.
    Bowe didn't fight him because he KO'd Golata in the 1st round and Bowe was losing
    before the ball shots. Holyfield was shot after 24 rounds with Lewis. He beat Vitali
    and would have beat Wlad because it would have been pre-Manny Wlad. He did good.

    I regard Lennox as at present the greatest 'British' fighter in history. He was the ultimate pro and was the last undisputed at HW. You just dont become undisputed if you are a fraud my friend.
    I do wish he fought Tyson before he was shot though, also i wish he rematched Vitali.
    But calling a ATG a fraud shows ydksab.

    I’d like the OP to let us know how ‘his toughest opponent’ received those cuts!

    Holyfield's peak was 1988-93. He fought a prime Lewis in 1999.

    Haha, I'd never deny that, I was purely stating his new alias with the inverted commas.

    I'd you close your eyes and believe Leona Lewis or Huey Lewis could be Lennox, I think that's what the OP did.

    Ex Wycombe and Leicester midfielder, Junior Lewis, also worthy of a shout, if Lennox Lewis didn't look like Lennox Lewis you could easily mistake any of the names we've mentioned for him.

    Lennox Lewis is probably the only boxer that ducked nobody and even though he got iced twice, it is incredible that a man with all those big names on the CV is called a fraud.

    Anyone fighting 44 times in the Heavyweight Division at the top level surely walks onto a big punch at some stage.

    This post nails it.

    I think Mason, Golota ,Grant and Tua ,Briggs,Akinwande,Morrison were prime for sure....Bruno,Holyfield and Tucker were slightly past their best....only Ruddock imho was a prematurely spent force...after 19 rounds with tyson over 3 months....tyson was shot

    Lewis imo is no fraud....he defeated guys spanning 30 years worth of titlists...from Mike Weaver to Vitali Klitchko
