    Lennox probably has the best CV in HW history. Usyk fights once every other solar eclipse and will be 36 by the time of his next match, meaning he will likely not surpass him in terms of scalps.

    Golota would fcuk up Joshua no doubt in my mind too. And Lennox treated him like a stepchild.

    No, he should've fought Moorer, Foreman, Bowe, Tyson (earlier version)

    If he had those names he'd be the GOAT IMO (those KO losses didn't help - this is just splitting hairs though)

    He'd be a champ today easily.

    No, no, this is another pro-Usyk troll, only this time decided to glorify him through Lennox. And while we can question a part of Lewis' legacy, for sure he escaped a rematch with Vitali, his heavyweight record is way superior than Usyk's. Not to mention he has twice more fights than him, so maybe he's greater not only as e heavyweight. And yeah - the amateur career is not valid. No one became great because of it, but because of his pro fighting.

    None of today's heavyweights are in the same league as Lennox, both in terms of ability and record.

    Usyk probably ranks above Lennox all-time, but only because of his wins and achievements at cruiserweight.

    I"m going out of a limb here by stating that the Rahman rematch is Lewis' best win. Coming back from
    a devastating, embarrassing, one hitter quitter to take his nemesis out with one punch surely tells
    you where Lewis' heart was. He did his business.

    And don't compare it to AJ's Ruiz rematch win. Sure, I give AJ props for giving Ruiz a rematch (or was it
    contractual?) but Ruiz was an out of shape underachiever and AJ merely slapped his way to a win,
    he didn't give Ruiz the business by going after him and knocking him out.

    I'd hardly call being awarded a decision against a guy who's ahead on the cards but loses because of a rare (when was the last time you saw this in a title fight?) bad cut, anyone's "best win"

    Even so, who has a better resume than him at HW? Mercer, Tyson, Evan Fields, Vitali, Tua, Bruno, a great supporting cast + Bowe at the Olympics is a phenomenal resume.

    Lewis fighting Bowe and an earlier version of Tyson, wasn't Lewis's fault though. Lewis was willing to fight both, but Tyson's team paid Lewis to step aside. And Bowe flat out ducked Lewis.

    As for Foreman and Moorer let's be real, no way does an older Foreman ever get in the same ring with Lewis, and i don't think Moorer was too keen on fighting Lewis either.
