    Bruno, Andy and Ruddock are not great wins to begin with in there primes they accomplished nothing and Lenny got to them bar Golota after there best days, Andy also was KO'd by the corpse of Tyson so there is that.

    Ruddock went toe to toe with mike tyson twice before mike tyson went to jail and gave him one of his hardest fights. Lol Lewis fought Golota a year after Golota was beating the hell out of Bowe. Past Golotas best ? Lol actually now that you mention it Tyson fought Golota 3 years after Lewis beat him. So wasn't he past his best then ? Oh man Golota lost his chin because he was in wars am i right ? :risas3: and Bruno won a world title in Mike Tysons era.

    You're biased thats all there is to it

    Ruddock rocked Tyson a couple of times but his work rate reflected his asthma, he did pretty much nothing rewatch the fights Mike was in no true danger. Golota what of him? I was saying that Tyson as a Zombie KO'd Andy with ease it is not a big deal he beat up on Bowe but gave up when he realize he could not stop Riddick he was a mental midget afraid to take a beating a bully who fought so dirty they put trunks on his heavy bags.. Bruno was nothing read up on your history. face it Lenny made a career fighting has beens he did not make an agenda out of fighting fighters at there best he let a Tyson fight go by graciously accepting step aside money instead of just fighting Tyson when he was not a husk Tyson had an agenda Lewis just wanted $ he is not the second coming of Ali like he wants everyone to believe, Lenny is also the same man who tried forcing a rematch with said Husk Mike he is a tosser. Hell old man Evander took rounds against Lewis yet in his prime was dominated by Bowe. Lewis is not as good as you want to believe.
    His best wins are Vitali, Grant and Briggs he is all smoke and mirros.

    Lewis is Top 3 All Time Heavy.

    Bowe may be Top 25.

    End Thread.

    Yes that's true. But according to the great Holyfield "I went back and watched the fights and the people who knocked him out [did so] because he had a different mindset for them. He didn’t fight smart with them ‘cause he felt he could beat them. Everybody he pursued and thought that he could beat, they ended up knocking him out – that’s Oliver McCall and Hasim Rahman."
    He handily avenged both losses, those KOs count against him in the all time rankings. But I think this is an unfair slur - of the "all time greats" only Rocky Marciano can claim to have never lost, and among the other heavyweight champions of history only guys like Marciano and Gene Tunney (and of course, Riddick Bowe) have never been stopped. Every other heavyweight great has at least one stoppage.

    Golota was whooping Bowe. Then Lewis destroyed him effortlessly. ABC logic am i right ?Like i said if he didn't disqualify himself he would have beaten bowe. Lol Bruno was nothing ? Then who the hell has Mike Tyson beaten ? Michael Spinks ? Wait michael spinks good wins are washed up Cooney and a gift decision against a washed up Holmes. How does that sound ?
    Mike Tyson got beaten by Buster Douglas and Evander Holyfield twice. According to your logic Bowe is better than Tyson because he beat a younger Holyfield.

    Stop the crap. You're trying so hard to discredit Lewis's wins

    You have both made good points, let it go these are all just opinions it is just a forum discussion and you should not force someone to bend to your opinion this is a circular situation where there will be a counter to every one thing either of you say.

    He never truly beat McCall. But that's not his fault, McCall shouldn't have been in there for the rematch due to his mental state.
