    What's wrong with you? Who posts things like that?

    Do you remember back in October of 2009, before you started posting on ESB? That was a great time for us. You should hurry up and go back to not posting.

    (You'd just better hope Boxed Ears doesn't read this. Although, admittedly the rest of your top 10 ATG is pretty damn good.)

    Well you can't have someone like that bleeding all over the place like a stuck pig with the foul spectre of the Bad AIDs around us at all times.

    True. But I'm sure Valuev can cure it.

    The man is a top 2 or 3 ATG Heavyweight, he ranks right up there with Ali and other greats from years past.

    You can't find me one other Heavyweight that I wouldn't pick a prime Lewis to be competitive with or beat.

    Heres my top 10, Lewis is definatley up there but he wouldnt have been able to hang with the power of someone like Zuri Lawrence or the movement of Butterbean.

    Valuev
    Zuri Lawrence
    Audley Harrison
    Butterbean (he was past it when he lost to that prime Holmes)
    Michael Grant
    John Ruiz
    Monte Barrett
    Albert Sosnowski
    Lennox Lewis
    Brian Mcbride

    I love the way you criticise somebodies sarcastic and humourous lis and then being serious, turn up with a list that sees Foreman above Louis.

    I just dont get how some one can have Ali as number 1 with out even putting Valuev in the top 10.

    A good list, but Louis? Boxing has evolved because of modern day training techniques and methods, foods and diets, medicine, technology etc. There is no way somebody like Louis could compete with Tomasz Bonin in the modern era, and as such I find it hard to deal with him being within 3 places of Bonin.

    I dont think he understands that evry 25 years the ability of the average fighter doubles due to genetics and technology advances.

    Bonin TKO Louis in 2

    exactly, his victory over vitali was good but clearly he started to look slow and couldnt see those punches coming
    It reminds me of Jones first fight against Tarver, it's not a questionable win but he started to look really sloppy as crap and too bad he keep fighting on and on.

    Lewis made the right decision, he's an ATG although I'll put him in top 25 not top 10
