    Lewis is greater than Taylor, Tszyu, Camacho, and Winky. ...Clearly for me. Maybe even Pedroza.

    I'm serious a few times a day...I just comment a lot. The serious bits get a tad drowned out.

    Too say Meldrick Taylor is greater than Lewis...would be absolutely crazy. Insane.

    HTH i would rank Taylor as definitely a great fighter, however his resume isnt. Although lot of people forget about his dominating win over Mcgirt.

    I hope you at least mean Meldrick and not his brother Eldrick.

    I rank according to criteria, not speculation. Meldrick isn't on Lennox's level.

    I had forgot about his twin bro, who was kod in his only pro fight.
    His other bro Myron was a decent journeyman though.

    I don't remember him. I just remember that Meldrick has an Eldrick. :lol: I hate it when parents do that. Twins, how about Michael and...Schmichael. No, no, wait. How about Thomas and...Flom-no, Trumas. Omas! Thomas and Omas! That'll be cute as ****! :good...:-(

    I stumbled upon this looking for something else and it needed bumping. It was one of our best.

    I put more stock in dominating an unlimited weight class that everyone wants to win with massive than dominating a 4lb weight class where you can be great without fighting a man who weighs 4lbs more

    I must have missed his unifictation with Bungu/Lebwada/Cermano/Vasquez when he was at 122. What about defending against Marquez/Gainer/Harrison at 126. What about facing Guzman/Soto/Barrios at 130?

    Great fighter no doubt but there was a bit of coasting between big fights, which wasn't necessarily his fault but he didn't come close to 'practically fighting everyone'

    You lock them all in a room and get them to fight for survival, then Tyson walks out.


    So as follows.

    Tyson











    Benitez
    Gomez
    Barrera
    Morales
