    Lennox one of, if not thee best h2h heavyweight. Other than prime Ali i'd pick a focused Lewis over anyone.

    #1 At his absolute best I would back him to beat any heavyweight in history.
    Tyson and Holmes being his 2 biggest threats.

    What's tysons excuse then? Tyson that lost to Douglas was closer to his prime than Lewis was against McCall and Rahman.

    I'd say top 5. Holmes, foreman, Ali all beat him IMO and then the likes of prime Holyfield, Tyson have around a 50-50 fight with him, although I'd slitly favour Lennox in both.

    Honorable mention Evander Holyfield who was a tad over his prime when he fought Lennox Lewis in a fight that could have gone either way.

    top 3 with a good shout at being the best heavyweight ever h2h.

    Im in agreement that the only 2 that could of caused problems were prime tyson and prime holmes.

    Top 7.

    Alongside him I would rank people like:
    Tyson, Vitaly, Ali, Foreman, Frazier, and Holmes.

    Apart from Buster Douglas :hey. Even Tyson from 88 would get stopped late by Tokyo Douglas. I also like Holyfield to stand up to Tyson to win a razor close decision, aswell as Ali to winning a UD, Foreman KOing him early. A few 50-50s like Lewis, Bowe, Holmes, Vitali and maybe Frazier (might of missed a few)

    Tyson, as well as every fighter to lace up the gloves is not unbeatable.
