    I disagree.

    Lennox's record is slightly better imo.

    Holmes has a striking lack of knockout losses against loser opposition.

    Old man Holmes took prime Holyfield to the distance, and though it wasn't close, actually won several rounds.

    Old man Holmes beat Mercer convincingly. How did Lewis do against the same.

    Who are you on about here? Are you saying that Lewis, unlike Holmes, was able to take single shots without folding or being out cold? If you could just confirm with a yes or no if that's what you mean, please?

    Then I'll sit back and watch every sane poster who can be arsed with you take you to the cleaners.

    I think most of the folks here already know the guy is the biggest troll in years, Eddie.

    In fact, I hope he really is just a troll, otherwise he's a mentally impaired person.

    Really? In his prime took punches from Shavers ,Norton and Cooney it was only when he was older he was suspect.Dont forget a prime Lewis got knocked out by McCall and Rathmam.Peak Holmes beats peak Lewis of that i am convinced

    If they do rate Lewis higher than they really just don't get it. Except for punching power Larry did everything better and was better.
