In my opinion it gets kinda iffy after #5. I used to have Foreman at 6, but really there could be other dudes there too. Marciano, on greatness, certainly. Holyfield, arguable. Usyk ... maybe, depending on how you value his opponents.

Lewis was a huge heavyweight who could really fight. Great jab, great ring IQ, conditioned to go the distance and crushing ko power in both fists. His negative was that he was knocked out by singular blows twice (avenged both).

 

John Henry just doesn’t have the resume at heavy for me.

 

@HistoryZero26 and you're just gonna take this?

 

terrible

 

Don't be so hard on yourself.

 

Same as mine.
Ali two reigns with 10 plus defenses each sandwiched between a forced exile
Louis 25 defenses best run of any division plus missed time ww2
Holmes 20 consecutive defenses
Wlad 18 during the modern era with prime opposition

My top 4 all have extended runs at the top. Consistent and willing to face all comers.
Lewis ranks 6th for me.

 

Yeah an the score remains 1-1 after his wins. Why no rubber matches or is it true that Lewis only has rematches if he doesn’t win
