    True point.
    I rate Ali's better, but Lewis' is very impressive.

    I agree that its impressive, especially for modern times.
    Does sam langford count as a heavyweight for this? How do you feel about his resume compared to lewis?

    Yeah I would count him.

    But its hard to compare, because of different times of boxing.
    I would rate Lewis' slightly better.
    In the top 5 Best HW resume's surely?

    It doesn't. End thread. There are no heavyweights that come close to Ali's resume against other heavyweights.

    haha yeah I felt uneasy trying to compare the resumes since the times are so different, how do you compete with a guy with 314 fights against your 44, its very difficult.

    Joe Louis' is very close, he has a terrific resume, so to Lennox IMO.

    Certainly not in my book, it's not. Great, but not very close. Can't go with that. :verysad
