    Lennox Lewis is, imo, the #3 heavyweight of all time. He must be Top5 for everyone.

    His most significant win? Holyfield. Others could be Ruddock, Mercer, Tyson or Klitschko.

    The win over Tyson isn't even in his top 10.

    Historically significant perhaps, but relevant...... hardly.

    Mike was shot to bits, Lennox was past his best as well.

    Why feel the need to call me a dip****? Was I out of term or are you just an idiot trying to make an impression on me? Well you kind of managed to make an impression. Learn how to converse with me in a decent manner and I will refrain from calling you a ****ing ignorant ****. Alright?

    Now **** off

    hahahaha that means you got offended by being called a "dip****"

    ur aware that only a dip**** could possibly get insulted and offended by someone calling them a dip****

    ur aware you made the impression within you from the way that you alone react to my words ?

    ur aware this impression you yourself created from my words waz so large that it caused you from refraining to converse in a decent manner with another human being as well as call that human being a ignornat **** and to tell them to **** off and your aware that i find this quite funny due to the fact that your a dip****

    your also aware by now that i have in truth learned nothing as well as i still havent told you why i felt the need to call you a dip**** which waz the real source of your scorn in the first place

    youve also just become aware that although im a **** i cant be that ignorant at least when it comez to ridiculing dipshitz

    lastly just before i sign off you become aware that the feeling that guided you to type **** off to me mislead you into a trap whereby dip**** got the tables turned on itself

    so dip**** who you going to trust now ?

    the feeling that told you to tell me to **** off the first time and instead clearly ****ed you up ?

    how bout you bring that feeling out to play again dip**** ?

    im sure i couldnt come up with another post that could top this one ?

    my only advice to you and i only share it with you because im a ****, would be if your breathing is heavy when your reading this dont reply

    if you dont want to listen to this **** thatz your problem however i wont be responsible if you try to reply to me and end up having a mental breakdown from reading my next response back to you

    i gotta enough lawsuitz goin i dont need some ****er called dipshite trying to sue me

    A over-weight Lennox gathered his balls and determination under the heavy fire of prime Vitali. THAT makes LL the champion. And - as much as I'd like to have seen a rematch - if he realized he'd be struggeling to gather his determination again, it was better for him to turn down the rematch. That way he hurt Vitali more than by facing him again.

    Frank Bruno controlled Lewis from the outside as well - and was more dominant than Vitali IMO.

    Honestly :roll: Top 3? WTF are you talking about? LL's best win was against a shot Holyfield a guy he couldnt even KO despite having massive physical advantages.

    The rest frankly were insignificant. The Tyson fight meant absolutely nothing. It only happened because of the sheer amount of money involved. As for the Mercer fight some gave that to Mercer. It was a close fight but certainly not a fight that LL excelled in. The same goes for Ruddock. Ruddock was never the same after the Tyson fights. Even Tommy Morrison knocked out Ruddock. The Vitali fight left more questions than it did answers. LL reneged on the rematch and chose to retire instead. A fight that he was loosing on points.

    Great fighters ATG's dont loose by KO to journeymen. LL was a classic right time right place guy who reigned when the division was supremely thin and most of the great heavies were way past there best.

    Frank Bruno nearly knocked his ass out! Briggs nearly did the same. LL wasnt a heavy that was captivating. He was great to watch when you lit a fire under him as in Rahman 2 bout but most of the time he was an aloof fighter who carried himself above the fans and the sport with a no frills careful approach fighting style.

    When i watch Shaq play ball i dont want to see him lay the ball up. I want to see him tear the rim off. LL never fought like heavy. He really thought he had some excellent boxing skills - of which he did - but when people watch the heavyweights we want to see KO's we want action and knockouts. LL endeared himself to no one. He just wasnt fan friendly or aggresive enough for me. A big man but he never fought like one.

    Rahman and McCall just weren't much good at all, and Lewis lost to them BADLY.
    I think that puts him way outside the top 5 of all-time.
