    I've got Floyd slightly above Lewis but if he loses to Mosley he will drop. If he beats him by decision he pretty much stays put cause thats what I expect him to do anyways. If he can KO Mosley or really put a beatdown on him, he'll move up.

    I guess the thread starter is a true Floyd hater. This is the second who is better thread including Mayweather. I guess he's waiting for people to just dog Floyd and say he's not even close. Face it dude he is one of if not the best naturally gifted boxers of all time. Lame approach hater.

    Lewis, even though he pussied put of a Vitali rematch. He beat two ATG heavies and destroyed every other worthy challenger in the division, including brutal rematch stoppages of the two guys who beat him. He also won Olympic Gold stopping Bowe who would later go on be undisputed heavyweight champ himself. Floyd needs Mosley and Pac, and maybe a couple more wins against top challengers before I consider him over Lewis.

    Think about the term: POUND FOR POUND. Its very hard for heavyweights to be ranked high P4p, unless they are a lighter heavyweight and dominate bigger fighters, like the late 80s Tyson.

    Lewis ducked no one, yes. And neither did Mayweather at 130. And he continued up 5 weight classes fighting several good fighters bigger than he. By the definition of the term p4p its clearly Mayweather.

    Lewis, by a friggin' mile. PBF has a mostly padded record in his early years and I rate DLH ahead of him even though PBF has a win over him.

    Lewis is higher. he's got Holyfield, Vitaly, Tyson, although Holy and Tyson were old when he fought them and Vitaly was winning at the time of the stoppage

    Honestly, i like lewis but i have them almost equal, if anything id rate and rank Mayweather a bit higher, but for now i have them equal.... taking nothing away from Lewis though, their both great. If mayweather beats mosley this next fight though.... i think im going to have mayweather higher. idk...

    The only guy Lewis was not able to fight is Riddick Bowe, and we know who was clearly at fault for that not happening. You dare put Mayweather above him? :-(
