    On the evidence of him beating a no hoper Austin and a one eyed Brewster?

    What did Lewis do that's so great? Even Kevin McBride beat Tyson, Rachman was never anything special, Lewis was behind on all score cards against Vitali, Botha and Grant were fringe contenders, Holyfield was way past his prime, he struggled with Ray Mercer who was outclassed by the over the hill version of Larry Holmes.

    C'mon Lewis was great, but he would have struggled with Wladimir. Big time.

    I don't feel that Lewis looked convincing at all against Vitali. Lewis was behind on all score cards but got lucky with the stoppage on cuts. Vitali scored with some thunderous right hands and Lewis was out on his feet at one point of the fight.

    BTW, injuries kept Vitali out from achieving greatness.

    Wlad looks dominant, but I still don't think he has fought anyone near the calibre of a Lennox Lewis at any point. Byrd is slick, but diminutive in the HW division. Peter has power but was quite crude when Wlad fought him. Brewster and Sanders both took him. Lately I like the way Wlad is fighting, protecting himself well with an absolutely ruthless jab. I don't think the chin itself has improved, just his means of hiding it. I think Lennox was good enough to find it. If Lewis lands with a straight right, it's game over.

    If he had taken care of himself and not pigged out so much, I feel a much greater argument could be made for James Toney.

    Since that is not the case, I will say Wlad.

    Wlad.

    I dont think Lewis really counts. He had ONE fight that he was losing and only got away with it due to his opponents gash.

    Vitali only fought 2-3 times before he got injured for the Rahman fight. His opponents were slightly above mediocre.

    Wlad has fought top guys.......gotten beat, then claimed a heavyweight title......got revenge on an opponent and is looking to unify.

    Wlad has been the best heavyweight in the last 5 years
