Actually lewis has a case for beating better hws than Louis did, a peak vitali klitschko and evander would beat any rival of Louis .H2H i pick Louis to win by ko however
Louis Lewis TIE both were gifted boxers, could do it all. Hard to decipher for me so I say tie on the better boxer.
There are delusional fanboys who place him the top five and even some who say he was better than Ali and Louis!!! He shouldn't be rated higher than Holyfield, let alone those guys.
Lewis. Wins over Tyson, Holyfield, V Klitschko, Mercer, Morrison, Briggs, Ruddock, Tua, McCall, Bruno, Golota and Rahman beat the likes of Walcott, Charles, Baer, Schmeling et al. Maybe not in a historical sense, but in a H2H sense, given that a ton of Louis's opponents wouldn't even be heavyweights today. See above. Lewis. Better H2H, better jab, better power shots, better defense and footwork. Louis had faster hands, and was crisper as a puncher, but his feet were stuck in mud a lot of the time, and he was very hittable and hurtable. His jab was also very overrated, more of a push than a pure snapping shot a lot of the time. Lennox could bust you up from the inside or the outside, he could box your ears off or brawl with you. Louis was far more limited.
