    You're joking, right ? Name me 50 heavyweights that were better than Lewis.

    Please.

    Pacquiao has mixed in far better company - Barrera, Morales, Marquez, Hatton, DLH.

    He meant all-time great when you include fighters from all other divisions not just heavyweight.

    Lewis ruled the division bcoz of his naturally big frame.

    what im trying to point out here is to compare which is a bigger feat...jumping weights and being p4p king or being dominant in one division and being a h2h monster against other HW ATG...

    i cant think of a fighter nowadays that had been dominant in one division for more than 10 years..maybe jones but his resume sucks as 175 while hopkins had 2 losses at 160...so i feel lennox is a better comparison...

    im sure that lewis fought in the ali-frazier era, he could easily be top 20 ATG without doubt...right now there are still doubts with ranking him inside top 35.
    i have him 28-30th

    He was still in a good heavyweight era. He beat many champions or future champions when he fought.

    Aside from the Tyson-Holyfield wins he beat other big names

    Morrison-mccall-rahman-golota-grant-bruno-klitscko-Tua-Briggs-mercer-ruddock

    damn that's better than the pacman resume.

    Lewis right now, if Pac beats Mosley or Floyd then he'll overtake Lewis. But he won't beat either of them, mark my words. Shane will **** Pac up royally should they fight, it'll be brutal. Floyd will just out-box him but Mosley will hurt him bad.
