    I agree with the 73%. Lewis is overrated on this forum.

    Lewis is an all-time top 5 HW.

    Calzaghe is a great fighter but Lewis is that bit greater.

    :yep:good

    Absurd that over 8000 votes have being cast and nearly 3/4 have gone for Calzaghe.

    Lennox has only received 18% of the vote :-(

    A lot of people consider Lewis a Canadian though.......

    Can't say I do myself.

    Buchanan
    Lewis
    Other
    Calzaghe

    3% for Ken Buchanan just goes to show the level of knowledge demonstrated by the voters on the poll :verysad

    I don't even give a ****. Lewis and Buchanan are far better than Calzaghe.

    If Hatton beats Pacquiao then another big name or two I'd be tempted to put him above Calzaghe.
