    Larry Holmes never had the title in the 90's. Moorer lost his title right away to Foreman. Wladimir didn't have the title until after Lewis retired. Corrie Sanders never held the "title" He could of held the WBO title but nobody cared about that title during that time. Lewis tried to fight Tyson earlier but Tyson didn't want to fight. Nobody want to fight Ruiz because he was a boring fighter who ran.

    A old Lewis beat Vitali. Lewis didn't have to continue boxing to prove anything to you. He was done. He came into the Vitali fight the heaviest he ever been and still beat Vitali. So you are just making stuff up either for attention or because you dislike Lewis.

    Chris Byrd didn't make Ike Ibeabuchi look bad. Everything else you type I agree.

    Lewis and Tyson are the same age and on that note I will block you.

    Tyson: Shot
    Holyfield: Struggled & Old
    Weaver: Old
    Biggs: Shot
    Mercer: Controversial
    Tucker: Old
    Jackson: Old and ordinary
    McCall: Didn’t actually beat him
    Bruno: Old
    Morrison: Shot
    Ocasio: Was on a 4 losing streak + old

    Best Wins:
    Ruddock, Golota, Mason, Grant, Vitali, Tua, Rahman, Briggs and Botha

    His best wins are against very good to good fighters. That resume is not enough yo be the HW GOAT

    is he great? yes, but far from goat. Personally, I rank him at 5 tho, my list somewhere like this:

    1. Ali
    2. Louis
    3. Holmes
    4. Marciano
    5. Lewis

    All elite heavyweights are overrated.

    So...no, kinda, in a way!

    Not overrated. Very great fighter. I have him only below Ali, Louis, Holmes, Holy, (and sometimes Foreman, depends on my mood).
