    This is a case of dominating one division vs moving up and conquering new divisions...

    as of now, both fighters spend 12 years being a world class fighter...both have their share of defining moments in their hall of fame career.

    both have a pair of losses..

    both are non-americans

    undisputed unified champ vs p4p king

    which feat is more impressive?

    I voted Lewis. Dominating the HWD will always carry more weight than the other feat. AT least for me.

    so close... But if he beats Mayweather, pac takes it. For now, Lewis on top.

    Manny Pacquiao

    He had faced bigger and skillful guys and beat them (some of them were p4p top 10 at that time)
    While Lennox was bigger than his opponents (besides Vitali and Grant)
    Both have lost a couple of times

    So I'd say Manny

    Lewis was put to sleep twice in his prime.
    Lewis ruled the division bcoz of his naturally big frame.
    .....
    Is Lewis even in the top 50 ATG? i THINK NOT.

    I'd say Pac ranks higher right now, but it's kind of hard to compare heavies to fighters from other weight divisions since heavies usually only have one division to deal with their entire career and they have to do the best with what they've got.
