    Prime Lewis is a nuthair ahead of Tyson. Wlad would make a good sparring partner for both.

    Sadly, Tyson peaked at 22, Lewis best win is over a 36 y/o Tyson or a cuts win over Vitali in a fight he was being dominated in.

    Here's Wlad, at 36, still nowhere near past his prime.

    Lewis, resumewise is eons ahead of both, moreso ahead of Tyson, but far better than Wlad. Sadly, Wlad is so damned good, he hasnt had the opportunity to pass the torch sotosay, so we may never know for sure who was better.

    I think in 20 yrs the ATG list will look like this


    Lewis
    Ali
    Louis
    Wlad
    Foreman
    Holmes
    Tyson Holyfield
    Marciano
    Vitali
    (insert Wlad's successor)

    Lewis was KO'd by Rahman in his prime with one punch and avoided every fighter until they were old or on drugs.

    Wlad is good yes but he doesn't have the aura of invincibility that Tyson had. Wlad looks sharp right now but he still has the shaky chin.

    Tyson for me.

    Lewis? man are you crazy? Better than Foreman,Ali,Louis ?

    Lennox Lewis was a cherry picker! He fought old fighters or drug addicts! Please stop. Lewis was good but look at the guys he fought. Old Tyson,Old Holyfield. Old drug addicted Tony Tucker,mentally unstable Frank Bruno,Old Ray Mercer etc. Ducked RIddick Bowe and didnt rematch Vitali or Mercer!

    Stop man. Ali beat Prime Foreman! Prime Frazier! Ali beat Archie Moore,FLoyd Patterson,Sonny Liston!

    Vitali is no where near top 10 also. Learn and take in the history if these fighters and dont pick Lewis because he was the guy you remember best.

    Then instead of using cute childish abbreviations like "LMFAO" be a man and make your case.
    Was Lewis not beaten by Rahman?
    Was Tyson not very dominant in his prime?
    Is Wlad not a very dominant champ with a shaky chin?
