    I posed this topic to someone whose opinion i respect enormously ( especially history and heavyweights).

    Here's his list:

    1. Louis
    2. Ali
    3. Holmes
    4. Holyfield
    5. Foreman
    6. Johnson
    7. Frazier
    8. Lewis


    So for those who have lennox just outside the top 5 :good

    * not that all time lists arent anything but a bit of fun and debate.

    Pretty good list although I have 1 & 2 round the other way, not sure about having Holyfield as high which probably means Ippy will declare a fatwah on me....

    Imo regarding Lennox Lewis

    Top 5 - No
    Top 10 - Probably

    He had a great career but you need to remember that he was stopped by 2 guys in McCall and Rahman in Lewis' peak and those two fighter's were really nothing special. Also Lewis' wins over Holyfield and Tyson were when they were both pretty much done at the top level so I personally don't give Lewis' any great credit for those wins.

    A great career but imo very difficult to warrant giving him a top 5 place all time.
