Seriously? Who'd rank above him, beat all of his competition - it has wicked strength in depth. Was the last great heavyweight, and was a damned good fighter to boot. H2H nightmare.
Holyfield is a better heavy than Lewis, as long as you don't let actual facts get in the way... And dont talk about 'ordinary contenders' when Ruiz clearly beat your boy. And I would list all of Holyfields losses but there are too many to list off the top of my head..... And most of them unavenged.
This is very true. Lewis had the tools to give any of the ATG heavyweights trouble. Based on his size (6'5'', around 240 pounds), his great punching power and his undeniable boxing skills, I would favour him over most of the ATGs.
Why is it Vitialy fans always jump on these threads. Alright Lewis being an GOAT is debatable, atleast he can be considered I can't say the same for either of the Klits.
Are we talking just heavyweight or p4p? heavyweight hes number 3 or 4 for me. Pound for pound top 30 . In terms of ability, i could perhaps understand him being the number 1 heavyweight choice, although i would still favour Ali. Including resume and accomplishments Ali and Louis are deffo ahead of him, and i have him similar to Marciano and Foreman.
