    He was pretty good during his prime. The only thing that hurts his legacy is when he finally fought tyson and holyfield they were past their prime. Losing to rahman and mccall also hurt his legacy. Overall he was very talented and knew how to use his height to his advantage.

    Lewis was already bored with boxing and didn't exactly need the money at the time.

    He was an outstanding HW. Avenged his losses, has a whos who of 90s HWs on his roster topped with names like Tyson, Holy and Vitali Klitschko.

    He probably matches up alright against some tough heavyweights.

    I got bored watching him though.

    most underrated in his era...he never made it to the top 10 (ranked 10th) for less than a year...despite that he is an ATG...just goes to show how p4p list is bias against the heavies

    When he was fighting i did not really like the guy,but since he retired ive watched a some of his fights again and have become a fan.He was a very good boxer who used his skills well.He is certainly in the top 20 best heavyweights ever and probably in the top 10.
