    show me the clean punch that opened it up. overweight and undertrained is a hilarious brit excuse. two weeks before the fight he pulled his shirt off on hbo, bragging about his condition. he weighed five pounds more than when he beat rahman. his hgh belly and head explain that. five pounds on a six five frame, **** you brittards.

    Ok, so let's say OP is right and Lewis is totally overrated.

    What does that mean? What does it mean to be an overrated heavyweight champion?

    Does it mean that Lewis isn't an all time great at heavyweight?

    What is an ATG at heavyweight? Top 10? Top 20?

    Can OP make a convincing case for 10 heavyweights with better accomplishments? Can he make a case for 20?

    Maybe you can make a case that all boxers are overrated, that perhaps boxing itself is overrated, but if ATGness is based on ranking, then not only would you have to prove that Lewis's resume is inflated, you would have to prove that his ranking disqualifies him from ATG consideration using the same standards for other heavyweights that you've applied to Lewis.

    Is that really a challenge you want to take on, OP?

    Yeah he had to wear them down first, still he stopped them, name the top fighters Mercer ko’d?
    There isn’t really much daylight in the punch dept between Holmes and Mercer. Just different styles to apply their power

    Rahman knocked Lewis out cold! McCall stopped Lewis in the 2nd round. I thought Mercer beat Lewis, although the judges gave it to Lewis by split decision, there was another fighter who beat his arse also, Mavrovich? Vitali was beating him on points, staggered him, Lewis had a badly broken nose, that fight ended his career..................
