    I'd like to know who you have over Calzaghe for top 5 SMW's of all time. He takes 3rd spot for me.

    Lewis was a candyass champion. Why wasn't he dominating in the early 90's?

    Oh, thats right, because he was dodging Tyson...

    Lewis. although he was KOed twice by average American Heavyweights that never happened to Calzaghe.

    Calzaghe is the best Super Middleweight of all time. 46-0. Also was Light Heavyweight Champion.

    Lewis by a mile

    Went to America earlier than Calzaghe
    Fought the best there was in the heavyweight division at the time
    Beat people in their primes
    Didnt beat 30+ window washers or electricians on his resume

    (Im Welsh and a HUGE Calzaghe fan, but he didnt fight the best, he held the WBO belt for way too long instead of beating IBF, WBC and WBA Super middle weight champions during his 10 year reign)

    Lewis by miles. The most dominant heavyweight champion of a very good heavyweight era, fought everyone available, beat everyone he ever fought, very formidable h2h. No contest here.

    Yeah, coz Tyson was hard to dodge. All Lewis had to do was stay out of jail and that was Tyson successfully dodged.

    Yep, staying out of jail is considered a dodge now?

    Lewis beat everyone that stepped up, he crushes Calzaghe in ATG rankings.
